Online Schedule of Classes

By request from the registrar's office, I made changes to the Online Schedule of Classes so that it now only gets courses that have the web ind checkbox active in the form STVSUBJ. This puts it in sync with the way Banner Web displays courses that are available.

Weekly Report: Registration

This week I worked on registration for disibility students, regular reg and early bird reg. It takes a bunch of time to get everyone in the proper groups, setting and getting a list of pins, set the right dates and times, then sending out emails. Early Bird has just as many tasks to do too, plus many more details such as making sure at least one computer in every room has banner installed, disabling pcounter, setting up extra computers where needed, double checking every last detail so that it goes smoothly for everyone.
Back on the subject of registration, I created a procedure last year to handle the walk-in students so that they could register right away. The procedure looks like this:
wou_soar.set_soar_group(p_vnumber, p_group,p_term);
Basically just supply vnumber, the registration group and term code and it'll put that student in that registration group.

Research Table Mod

I made a change this week to the research table script so that it builds part of term 1 credit hours per student. The column is called ptrm1cr. This data is used in the report SZRRESD, credit hours by level/residency. There's another column in the table labeled satc (which should actually be SAT combined scores) but its currently being used to identify part of term 1 students. This is no longer needed since we now know what students are part of term 1 since they will have ptrm1cr > 0. I'll look to see if any reports are using the satc column, and if not, I'll change it back to satc score.

Banner Web Mods: Web Registration and Schedule by Day and Time

I made two mods this week to Banner Web. The first one is in the registration app bwcksams.p_regresult. If a student registers for an online course, it will now display an information icon and text that notifies the student that they must contact the instructor for course information.
The next mod was made to the class schedule by day and time app bwckweek.p_disp_unassigned. If a student has a course without an assigned meeting time (ie Online Courses), it will display a message saying to contact the instructor for online courses.

Online Schedule of Classes

By request from the registrar's office, I made a change to the online schedule of classes. Courses that have start and end dates that do not follow the normal term dates will now appear in red. This way students will be able to better identify these special meeting times.

Minimum Credit Hour Mod

I added the minimum credit hour modification to banner this week. In essence, this mod prevents student athletes from dropping below 12 credit hours. It uses the table sgrsprt to determine if they are an athlete then looks in gtvsdax to see what the minimum credit hours are. The code for this is in the package syfdrop and mods were made to the registration package sfkedit.

New Reports: SZRFEES and SZRRESD

I created two new reports this week named SZRFEES and SZRRESD in Banner. SZRFEES is a report of student course fees by term and will mostly be used by the business office and banner team. SZRRESD is a report of credit hours by level and residency based on term. This will be used by the budget director. I'm currently modifiying this report to allow the display of any part of term credit hours only.
