Banner Faculty and Advisor Self-Service / User Guide / 8.4

For example, if a user tries to register a student for Psychology 200 and the registration
results in a PREQ or TEST SCORE error, the DW code is used to remove the course from
the schedule and reverse any charges that were associated with it.
If your institution does not allow a student’s last class to be dropped via the Web (that is,
the external code for WEBDROPLST is N), then the system will not drop a connection if
the student is not registered in any other classes.
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.
Connected Drops Allowed with User Approval
You want the system to notify the user if one course is dropped, but a course to which it is
associated is not, thereby allowing the user to choose to drop both or to drop neither. To
accomplish this, you have set the external code to C for the AUTODROP rule.
Let’s say a student has registered in the following courses:
• History 320 (corequisite with Sociology 320)
• Sociology 320 (corequisite with History 320)
• Religious Studies 225
• Mathematics 162
If a user attempts to drop the history course but not the sociology one, the system displays
the Connected Course Drop Confirmation page (bwckcoms.p_proc_confirm_drops)
letting the user know that the two courses must be dropped simultaneously and asking
whether the user wants to drop or not drop the entire connection. If the user chooses to
drop, both courses are dropped. If the user chooses not to drop, neither course is dropped.
If a user attempts to drop the history course and the mathematics class, but not the
sociology course, the system displays the Connected Course Drop Confirmation page
letting the user know that the history and sociology courses must be dropped
simultaneously and asking whether the user wants to drop or not drop them. Regardless of
the user’s choice regarding dropping the connection, the mathematics course is dropped
per the student’s original request.
Now let’s say a student has registered in the following courses:
• Biology 405 lecture (linked to Biology 405 lab)
• Biology 405 lab (linked to Biology 405 lecture)
• Anthropology 307 (corequisite with Archeology 305)
