- Access theOverride Academic Requirement for Studenttask.
- From theOverride Typeprompt, select 1:Override TypeDescriptionAdd CourseAdd a course that isn’t typically an acceptable course to satisfy the requirement. Don’t add a course that’s already included in an eligibility rule for the requirement.Adjust UnitsChange the number of units required for the student to satisfy the requirement.Adjust Course CountChange the number of courses required for the student to satisfy the requirement.Assign Course to RequirementAssign an in-progress or completed registration to satisfy an academic requirement when:
- The course isn't typically an acceptable course for the requirement.
- The grade doesn't meet the minimum defined for the academic requirement.
When you select this override type with aUnit Requirementtype eligibility rule, you can split the course units between multiple academic requirements. You can select registrations from theAssign Registrations to Applyprompt and enter the units for each registration in theUnits Assignedfield.When the course requirement has a grade modifier, theIgnore Gradecheck box is available. To ensure that all registrations are displaying in the prompt and to bypass the minimum grade requirement, select this check box.For academic requirements that use a Combination type eligibility rule, you can select a specific eligibility rule within the Combination rule to assign a course registration.Workday enables you to assign multiple overrides of this type on an academic requirement. The course remains assigned to the academic requirement until you remove the override.Exclude Registration from RequirementExclude a registration from applying to a student's academic requirement. Example: Exclude course repeats or transfer registrations.Unlike theSubstitute Courseoverride, with this override, Workday doesn’t require another registration to substitute for the excluded registration to achieve program completion on the student'sAcademic Progressreport.You can use this override for course requirements, unit requirements, and grade averages. You can also use this override for combination rules that have nested course requirements and unit requirements.Workday doesn't support this override type for grade requirements without courses defined.Recommendation: If a non-live registration is assigned to a requirement already satisfied, you can perform a second override to exclude a live registration to prevent duplicate satisfaction.Substitute Course- Remove a course defined as acceptable for the academic requirement. To satisfy the requirement, specify the course asNot Required.
- Substitute a course defined as acceptable for the academic requirement. To satisfy the requirement, specify an alternative course or set of courses.
Workday enables you to assign multiple overrides of this type on an academic requirement.When you use aSubstitute Coursetype academic requirement override, Workday evaluates the alternate course set before the required course in satisfying the academic requirement.Waive RequirementWaive a specific academic requirement.
