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

When a student has registered and later their registration record is accessed via Banner
self-service or Banner Voice Response, the system determines whether any of the above
kinds of changes occurred. If so, the system determines which of the following conditions
applies and takes the associated action shown in the table below.
Condition
Administrative drops are
allowed.
Administrative drops are
not allowed.
Action Taken
The drop is automatically processed, and a message is
written to the SFTRGAM table, but the user is not notified of
the action.
Note: The drop occurs only if all courses with administrative
errors or classes that are connected to them have a single,
active drop code.
A message is written to the Student Course Registration
Audit Form (SFASTCA), but the drop is not processed, and
the student continues to be registered in the course.

Setting
ADMINDROP
set to Y
ADMINDROP
set to N
Note
The system does not perform an administrative drop if a student fails an
in-progress prerequisite after registering for a CRN, although the
Registration Admin Messages Report (SFRRGAM) captures the error.
Also, if registration is accessed via the Student Course Registration Form
(SFAREGS), the ADMINDROP rule is not invoked, because the types of
errors that the ADMINDROP rule addresses would be encountered and
dealt with by the administrator.
•
If the student’s record is accessed and changed in the Student Course Registration Form
(SFAREGS), any administrative errors encountered must be resolved. You can run the
Registration Admin Messages Report (SFRRGAM) to review administrative drop errors
that need to be resolved.
The rest of this section provides a variety of scenarios to help illustrate how the system
processes requests based on your system setup. These scenarios are not meant to be allinclusive,
but rather to show several examples.
Administrative Drop if an Approval is Added to a CRN
You want the system to perform administrative drops. To accomplish this, you have to set
the external code to Y for the ADMINDROP rule. You have also included a single, active
drop code (DC for Drop Course) for Linguistics 318 on these forms:
• Schedule Processing Rules Form (SSARULE) (for open learning courses)
• Course Registration Status Form (SFARSTS) (for traditional courses)
