Purpose Promote student success in their course work Remove obstacles

Implementation Fall each college provided with a spreadsheet of their courses and respective requisites for review Spring 2010 – college review completed Requisite changes were proposed for 27% of the 4,100 courses reviewed Fall 2010
5
Implementation Decision made to implement project in two phases
Winter 2011 – Enforce requisites for courses with no changes Summer 2011 (start of new catalog) – Update course descriptions and enforce requisites for courses with proposed changes Fall 2010
6
Implementation – Phase I
Past 5 months have been spent coding “enrollment requirement groups” in PeopleSoft to enforce requisites Extensive effort Learned how to code complex requisites Dialogued with departments to translate requisites and understand their intention Fall 2010
7
Implementation – Phase I
Some statistics… Winter 2010 – enforced requisites for 608 of 1691 courses Winter 2011 – enforcing requisites for 1127 of 1680 courses Identifying which courses have system-enforced requisites for Winter 2011 “Check prerequisites before enrolling” note in the class schedule Reports sent to department schedulers on October 20 Fall 2010
8
Implementation – Phase II
Consult and review process is currently underway for courses with proposed changes to requisites During Summer 2010, our office ran queries for over 1000 courses Queries used to identify programs outside the course’s college for which the course was a requirement or elective Results shared with colleges for their review Approved changes will be implemented with the new catalog Fall 2010

Requisites and Enrollment
An “enrollment requirement group” is coded in PeopleSoft to enforce requisites or requirements for a course Enrollment requirement groups can be used either to Reserve seats for a class (reserve capacity), or Enforce course requisites/requirements . Fall 2010

Understanding Requisites
“Consent of instructor” required Not coded as an enrollment requirement group Enforced in the system through the consent field setting for the class and permission numbers “Junior standing” Based upon a student’s projected academic level for the term in which they’re enrolling Coded to be junior standing or greater Fall 2010
21
Understanding Requisites
D-stopper A minimum grade of C- or better is required in a prerequisite course Has been coded to allow students to enroll if they’re currently taking the prerequisite course (prior to grades being posted) Co-requisite: prior or concurrent enrollment in a course Fall 2010
22
Understanding Requisites
“Anti-requisites” will be enforced during enrollment, for example: BUS 212, Financial Accounting for Nonbusiness Majors – Not open to Business majors. COMS 101, Public Speaking – Not open to students with credit in COMS 102. Fall 2010

Transfer Credit Enrollment Requirement Group set-up allows transfer credit to satisfy a requisite Fall 2010
24
Co-requisites and Waitlisting
System is unable to enroll students from waitlists for two courses that are co-requisites requiring concurrent enrollment For Winter 2011, we have identified classes that would have this issue because they have term or section specific co-requisites Advised department schedulers and adjusted set-up, so students are unable to waitlist for the class and can enroll as seats become available Students are advised via a class note that waitlisting is not available for the class Fall 2010
