Interpreting Outputs Produced by the CAPP Degree Audit Process

 

You have successfully produced a CAPP audit sheet for one or more of your students.  Congratulations!!  Now, how do I make sense of the printed output?  To aid in this process, please print then examine the following document.  Direct any comments you may have to Tish Michalak or John Reebel.

 

 

 

Name: Student, Joe                                                                           Release 5.6.0.1 Page 1

ID: T01234567                                                                                Print Date: 05-AUG-2004

Request Number:    3                                                                         Print Type: A

Page Header information includes the student’s name and Banner ID and the date printed. The request number shows how many requests for that same student exist in the system at this time.  Release is the version of the Banner CAPP program that is being used.  The Print Type is whatever was chosen when the report was run.  A = advising, D = degree clearance and S = short.  A and D are basically the same, and S is the same only without the summary sheet (this first page).  The Page Header is printed at the top of each page of the report.

 

 

 

                                                                  Program:         CO - Communications

                                                                  Eval Term:       200430 - Fall 2004

The program shown is whatever program was chosen when the report was run.  It could be the student’s actual program or any other one if the submitter wanted to see how the student’s requirements would look for a different major.  The term is whatever was chosen and controls the limit on courses included in the report.

                                                                  

                                                                 

The rest of the information on this page summarizes the status of the student’s compliance with the requirements of the program as a whole and each individual area.  It is in a two column format, wrapping around.  Read down the first column then continue on to the top of the second column.  Much of this information is found in greater detail on the following pages.  This particular report was run for a student

who is ready to graduate.

The first area is the core.  There are separate versions for

Arts & Sciences and the Boler School of Business.  In this

student’s case, any general requirements have been met, but not

all of the specific course requirements.

The writing intensive requirement of the core is a separate

area.  This is to allow re-use of courses.  For instance, a

writing intensive course that also fulfills a core requirement

will count for both.

MET        Course Requirements                                   

At least one area will be created for a student’s

major program.  In some cases the complexity of the

requirements necessitated multiple areas, but this

one, Communications, did not.  Note that this area

does have specific General Requirements, and that its

listing wraps over to the second column above.


 

 

The detail on the various areas starts on the next physical page.  The same header appears at the top as the first page.

                                                                  Program:         CO - Communications

                                                                  Eval Term:       200430 - Fall 2004

                                                                 

                                                                 

Each area has a basic division into two sides.  The left side shows the requirements and the right side the courses that

were used to fulfill them, if any.  The M column heading stands for Met, and indicates with a Y or an N if the requirement

has been met.

 

Each requirement will be described with either a Rule name in that column, a specific course or range of courses in the

Subj and Course Low/High columns, or an attribute in the Crse Attr column.  If a rule is specified and the requirement has

not yet been met, a description will be printed.  A number may appear in the Req Crdt column indicating a minimum number of

hours needed for the requirement, or in the Req Crse indicating a minimum number of courses needed.  The last column of the

requirements is Min Grd, which may list a minimum grade needed for the requirement.

 

On the right side, the Term column lists the term code in which the requirement was met.  The Subj, Crse and Title columns

show the subject, course number and title of the course used to meet the requirement.  Note that in many cases more than

one course is needed to fulfill a requirment and all will be listed.  The Crse Attr column will list any attributes used

in fulfilling the requirement.  An attribute will only be shown if used.  In many cases the rules have been written so that

checking an attribute was not necessary because specific courses could be explicitly targeted.

 

The Crdts column lists the credit hours of the course.  The Grd column displays the grade that the student earned for the

course.  The S column heading stands for Source.  A value of H means that the information came from course history.  A T

stands for transfer credit.  An R means the student is currently registered for that class in a current or future term.

The Actn Code column indicates if the requirement was satisfied with a waiver or substitution.

 

At the bottom of each area, the gpa and total hours earned for that area are printed.  Note that if the total hours of all

The areas are summed that number will probably be greater than the actual number of hours taken due to course re-use

across areas.  Refer to the summary page above for the grand (program level) total.

The very first entry in the Core curriculum here is a good example of a requirement needing more than one course to be met.

This area also shows a good example of the use of attributes.  PL 310 was used to meet the 300 level Philosophy requirement.

The attribute V was used because not all 300 level Philosophy courses are listed as being suitable for the requirement.  No

attribute was needed for the RL 101 requirement, though, because it referenced a specific course.

Most programs have the same general areas until this point.  The real differences in requirements occur in the major area(s).

The final rule here in the Communications major is present in most undergrad programs.  The rule has no actual requirements and

is always considered to be Met.  Its purpose is to catch any courses in the major that the student has failed.  In this manner

they will be included in the gpa but will not fulfill any requirements, as all the requirements list D (or whatever grade is

appropriate to the program) as the minimum grade.  Any courses is the major department that were not used to fulfill other any

requirements in the this area would also appear here.

All programs have an electives area.  Its purpose is to list all courses taken by the student that were not used to meet any

requirements in any of the other areas of the program.  This area is always met, as it has no specific requirements (note the

0.00 under Req Crdt).
