After the student has registered in the course, an Astronomy 107 seminar is added as a
corequisite of Astronomy 105.
If a user accesses the student’s registration record via Banner self-service or Banner Voice
Response, the system checks for administrative errors and finds one for this student: in
this case, that the student has not registered in a corequisite. The system then checks
SSARULE and finds the DC drop code for both courses, so it drops the courses and
changes the registration status for both courses to DC. This occurs before the Add or Drop
Classes page is displayed on the Web, and the change is reflected when the page is
displayed.
Administrative Drops if Active Drop Codes are Not Defined
You want the system to perform administrative drops. To accomplish this, you have set the
external code to Y for the ADMINDROP rule. You have included a single, active drop code
(DC for Drop Course) for Anthropology 215 on the Schedule Processing Rules Form
(SSARULE), but you have not defined an active drop code for Sociology 215 on
SSARULE (for open learning courses) or the Course Registration Status Form
(SFARSTS) (for traditional courses).
Let’s say a student has registered in the following courses:
• Anthropology 215 (corequisite with Sociology 215)
• Sociology 215 (corequisite with Anthropology 215)
• Economics 105
• French 201
After the student has registered in the course, a seminar is added as a corequisite of
Anthropology 215.
If a user accesses the student’s registration record via Banner self-service or Banner Voice
Response, the system checks for administrative errors and finds one for this student: in
this case, that the student has not registered in a corequisite. Processing continues, and the
system finds that Sociology 215 is a corequisite of Anthropology 215, and therefore must
also be dropped. There is no active drop code, however, for Sociology 215. Because both
courses cannot be dropped appropriately, neither are dropped, and both are returned to
their previous registration statuses. This occurs before the Add or Drop Classes page is
displayed on the Web.
Administrative Drops if Other Errors are Found during
Processing
You want the system to perform administrative drops. To accomplish this, you have set the
external code to Y for the ADMINDROP rule. You have also included a single, active drop
code (DC for Drop Course) on the Schedule Processing Rules Form (SSARULE) and the
