Catalog Term
|
The unique
term, or pseudo-term, that along with Division, Degree, Major and Concentration,
identifies a set of requirements in a component. If there are two sets of
requirements for the same Division, Degree, Major, Concentration, then Catalog
Term is used to distinguish between them. For example, if a school updates
its degree requirements for new students, but wants to keep the old requirements
for continuing students, each set of requirements has a unique Catalog Term.
In most cases, Catalog Term is the term, in YYYYT format, when the set of
requirements went into effect. |

number, used to uniquely identify a line in a Component. Each Requirement
in a Component is a separate line. |
|
Component Line Type
|
A 2-character
code used to identify the type of line that should be produced in the
online worksheet in Advisor InTouch. NOTE: at this time, only lines of
type RQ are stored in the Data Warehouse.

Refer to
the DIVISION table for valid values.

The minimum
credits that must be completed to successfully fulfill this requirement.
See also
Credit_Type in the COURSE_SECTION table.

Min Grade Num
|
The minimum
grade, represented in a numerical equivalent (0.0 through 4.0) that must
be obtained in order to fulfill this requirement. |
|
Pass Fail Ind
|
The Pass-Fail Ind indicates whether or not the rules allow a student
to take a course "Pass/Fail" and use it to fulfill the requirement.

Req Category
|
Used to group
requirements into categories, for summarizing purposes. (Not currently used
at Penn.) |
|
Text
|
The text that appears on the online worksheet in Advisor InTouch for the
requirement line. This is entered by the person creating the Component Lines
in REQBUILD, and is used to label the requirement for Advisor InTouch users. |
|
Update Date
|
The last
date this Requirement was updated in the administrative mainframe application
REQBUILD. |
|
Update Inits
|
The initials
of the administrative mainframe users who last updated this Requirement
in REQBUILD. These initials are maintained in the SRS Security Module
by the SRS System Administrator. Initials are assigned to a user when
he or she first gets an account. CAUTION: if the user has an account to
use the mainframe SRS application and an account to use Advisor InTouch,
their initials will not be the same in both applications.
Note: there
is currently no mapping of initials to a person's name available in the
Data Warehouse. To investigate the full name of a person associated with
Update Inits, please contact the Office of the University Registrar.
