APPROVED_ACADEMIC_PROGRAMS Table

(dwst.approved_academic_programs)

Explanation:

Contains one row per valid combination of Division | Degree | Major | Concentration in the Student Records System (SRS). Invalid combinations are not allowed in SRS; the management of valid academic programs in the SRS Academic Program Summary (SRS Screen 110) is handled via the source file for this table.

Common Uses

  • Used to determine the mapping of Majors to Divisions and Degrees.

Cautions

  • This table shows the program combinations of division, degree, major, concentration that students are allowed to matriculate into. However, because there are some cross-division majors, this table cannot be used to derive the administrative relationships between majors and schools.
  • Contains all valid programs since the inception of the Student Records System (SRS). Some of the programs are no longer in use. Similarly, some programs are newer, and were not valid in the past. In addition, some majors have moved from an old Division/Degree to a new Division/Degree. Consult the "Start_Term" and "Stop_Term" to determine whether a program was valid in the past, and/or whether the program is in current use.
  • Programs that were valid since the inception of SRS, and that are still valid, will have NULL values in the Start_Term and Stop_Term.
  • Minors are not considered part of the definition of an Approved Academic Program, but some minors are in this table with a Start and Stop term both equal to 1943C. This is to accommodate students who get a minor without getting a major.
  • Special Program codes are not considered part of the definition of an Approved Academic Program, and are not in this table.
