Open Learning Registration Support
In support of Open Learning courses, Faculty and Advisor Self-Service does the
following:
• Permits users to select, as part of the registration process, either the date the student
wishes to start the course or the date he or she wishes to finish the course
• Calculates either the start and/or expected completion dates of the class based on
the duration of the section in conjunction with the date the user selected at the time
of registration
• Displays all registration activity for a student, regardless of term
• Processes withdrawals or drops based on the individual student's progress in the
course versus static date ranges for the term or part-of-term
Note
The primary way that the system recognizes an Open Learning course is
that no part of term is associated with it.

Drop/Withdrawal Functionality
This section uses the following terminology related to drops/withdrawals.
• Connected refers to courses that are associated with each other via co-requisites,
prerequisites, or links.
• Connection refers to a set of connected courses. For example, the connected
courses of Biology 101 lecture and lab (co-requisites) would be considered a
connection.
Courses cannot be dropped via the Web and refunded at 100% unless the drop meets
criteria specified on the Crosswalk Validation Form (GTVSDAX) and has been assigned
the appropriate setup code (allowing a course to be dropped and refunded at 100%) on the
Course Registration Status Form (SFARSTS) (for traditional courses) or Schedule
Processing Rules Form (SSARULE) (for Open Learning courses). Connected classes are
included in this processing.
Note
A connected class will not be dropped and given a 100% refund unless
the code is designated for use on SFARSTS or SSARULE.
