Priority, Begin Date, End Date, Begin Time, and End Time can be accessed and
used to specify query criteria.
Students assigned to the registration group code display in the Student Information
section of the form. When the cursor is scrolled through multiple time slot records, it
they exist, the list of student names that displays will be the same for each record.
Group is an optional Key Information field. If no group code is entered in the Key
Information, all existing registration groups and their assigned students, if any exist,
are retrieved for display.
Model Script for Populating Registration Groups
The SQL script sfrgrup.sql may be used as a model for creating registration groups
from your existing student population. This script should be analyzed and modified as
appropriate by technical support staff prior to execution. The model script does the
following:
• Prompts for a term code.
• Creates student registration group records (SFBRGRP) for every general student in
the database whose student status (SGBSTDN_STST_CODE) allows registration
(STVSTST_REG_IND = "Y"). (These students represent the IDs that will be entered
in the Key Information of SFARGRP).
• Creates registration group code records (SFBWCTL) and assigns the appropriate
code to each of the students (SFBRGRP) above by examining academic history as
follows:
• Sums the earned hours in academic history for all of the Term GPA records
(SHRTGPA_HOURS_EARNED) that have the same level as the level of the general
student record that is effective for the term specified in the prompt.
• Subtracts the sum of hours from the previous step from 1000. This result is
the group code that is assigned to the student.
Here are some examples:
Student Sum of Hours Earned Calculation Group Code Assigned
One 46 1000 - 46 0954
Two 104 1000 - 104 0896
Three 18 1000 - 18 0982
Four * 0 1000 - 0 1000
* Freshmen with no earned hours in academic history will be assigned to group 1000 based on
the logic in the model script.
Once the script is executed, the group codes are associated with the students. The group
codes are displayed on SFARCTL. The order of the display of the codes is by earned hours
