Course Modification Requests to Conform to Banner Prerequisite Checking Winter 2007 Implementation The Faculty Senate charge to the
committee is how to solve the problem of "hard" vs "soft" prerequisites
that Banner can enforce and not enforce, respectively, be reviewed and
action taken by academic units. The committee seeks the most painless
solution in that there must be a Banner (or other system) Screen that
shows online for each academic unit (1) the course designation, (2) the
course number, (3) the course title, (4) the current "hard"
prerequisites that Banner sees and can enforce, (5) the current "soft"
prerequisites that are in the Inventory of Courses that Banner cannot
enforce, AND elected action by the academic unit to (a) delete the
"soft" prerequisites or (b) move the "soft" prerequisites to
"Recommended". This would allow academic units to view such and
take action on such online and submit to the Registrar's Office and
make available to UCAPC.
Of course, there would have to be a clear and non technical explanation to academic units that accompany such a request. That is, it is quite clear that the vast majority have little knowledge of these issues and the impending curriculum and registration problems via their programs, courses, and impacts on students. The committee continues to work with the Registrar's Office and the Banner People to come to an implementation solution. Program Changes COLA
