Banner Faculty and Advisor Self-Service / User Guide / 8.3

If a user attempts to drop the lecture course but not the lab, the system displays a message
that the course cannot be dropped unless the course to which it is linked (in this case, the
lab) is dropped at the same time. The student remains registered in both courses.
To drop both classes, the user must select both in the same transaction.
Note
In Banner Voice Response, error checking is performed on each CRN as
it is entered. Because of this, if you enter N for the AUTODROP rule, it will
not be possible for connected courses to be dropped. Therefore,
SunGard Higher Education recommends that you use either C or Y for the
AUTODROP rule.

Drop Last Class Not Allowed
You do not want a student to be able to drop his or her last class via the Web. To
accomplish this, you have set the external code to N for the WEBDROPLST rule.
Let’s say a student has registered in the following courses:
• English 260 (corequisite with English 260W)
• English 260W (corequisite with English 260)
If a user attempts to drop one course but not the other (or if the student attempts to drop
both simultaneously), the system does not drop either course because of the setting on the
WEBDROPLST rule, regardless of the setting for the AUTODROP rule.
Administrative Drops
An administrative drop is one that occurs automatically when a user accesses a student’s
registration record after certain changes that affect registration records occur within the
system, after registration has opened and enrollment for a course exists. These changes
can include:
• A CRN’s prerequisites are changed.
• A CRN’s corequisites are changed.
• A CRN is linked to another CRN.
• An approval requirement is added to a CRN.
• The meeting day or time of a CRN is changed (which can cause a time conflict in a
student’s schedule).
• An equivalent course is added (which can cause a duplicate course error on the
student's schedule).
