Define and manage program requirements

Define the requirements within a program of study.

To define requirements:

1. Log on to the District view.
2. Select Schedule > Programs of Study.
3. Select the program of study, and then under Programs of Study, click Requirements.
4. Select Options > Add. The New Graduation Requirement page appears.
5. At Type, select one of the following to determine the type of requirement:

   Note: Your selection at the Type field determines the fields that appear on the page. If you do not want the units or credits earned in the requirement to count towards the unit or credit totals, select the Exclude from total checkbox.

   Note: For Requirement Group and Programs of Study-type requirements, you do not have to type a number in the Required unit field.

   • Credit: Then, type the number of credits a student must earn in the courses for this requirement.
   • Programs of Study: The Sub programs of study lookup appears. Click to select another program of study that must be completed to complete this program of study. For example, you might indicate that students must complete the Technology program of study to complete the Academic program of study.
   • Requirement Group: The Requirement List section appears at the bottom of the page.
   1. Click Add to add the requirements that must be met to complete this requirement. For example, if you are defining the High School Elective requirement, you might add the Fine Arts, Computer Science, Physical Education and Music requirements. Then click OK.
   2. At Match, select:
   • All: If all of the requirements in the group must be satisfied.
   • Any: To indicate the number of requirements in the group that must be satisfied at the Minimum requirements to satisfy drop-down. Enable Use summation of combined credits to satisfy group to let any combination of credits meet the group requirement, as long as they do not exceed the Required unit.

   Other: Click Define to define the Evaluation Definition. Like a query a request to find a group of records that match specific criteria at a particular time, select the table, fields and operators to define the requirement. For example, your district might determine that students must score greater than 70 on a student assessment. At the Evaluation field, click to select the field that stores the value the student must have to fulfill the requirement. Selecting the field displays the actual value the student has in that field on the Graduation Summary page.

6. Click Save. Now, you can attach courses to the requirement.
