Set Up Academic Progress Display Policy

Set Up Academic Progress Display Policy

The
Academic Progress
 report provides the most relevant information to your students and advisors based on your institutional policies.
When a subordinate academic unit has a different policy than the superior academic unit, you can edit the subordinate policy to make it equivalent to the superior policy before restoring inheritance from the superior academic unit as of a specified effective date.
Your configuration on these tasks drives the information that displays on the
Academic Progress
 report:
  • Set Up Academic Progress Display
  • Configure Academic Requirements
Workday uses the configuration that applies to the student's primary program of study on the
Academic Progress
 report.
  1. Access the
    Set Up Academic Progress Display
     task.
  2. Select either:
    • An academic unit and academic level.
    • A program of study.
  3. Select either:
    • Inherit from Superior Academic Unit
      . If the policy is already inheriting from the superior academic unit, the selection defaults to the option to create a new policy or edit the existing policy.
    • Create New Policy or Edit Existing Policy
      . If the subordinate academic unit is already inheriting its policy from the superior academic unit, edit the existing policy or create a new policy if one doesn't exist, as of the effective date you specify. To restore inheritance, edit the subordinate policy so that it has the same configured options as the superior policy. Then select the option to inherit from the superior academic unit.
  4. Assign an effective date:
    Ensure that the effective date is either on or before these dates for students using this configuration:
    • The student's
      Program of Study Declare Date
      , or the
    • Student Matriculation Date
      .
  5. As you complete the task, select the options that you don't want to display:

    Description
    Academic Progress Visualization Circle
    The visualization circle is based on your academic requirements configuration for the student's primary program of study. The visual progress also displays on the:
    Academic Requirement Areas
    Displays student progress towards satisfying requirement areas in a grid. The grid displays on the
    Academic Progress
     report in the Academics profile group of the student profile.
    It displays only if you configure academic requirement areas for the academic unit and level or program of study. You can configure academic requirement areas using the
    Configure Academic Requirements
     task.
    Program Required Units
    The
    Program Required Units
     grid displays to monitor student progress by each of their programs of study.
    The grid displays on the
    Academic Progress
     report under the student's program of study. You can configure the units and the grid on the
    Configure Academic Requirements
     task for a program of study.
    Total Academic Requirement
    The
    Overall Progress
     grid tracks total academic requirement (or TAR).
    You and students can use this information to monitor the overall progress of students towards their degree completion.
    The grid displays on the
    Academic Progress
     report on the Academics profile group of the student profile. You can configure TAR on the
    Configure Academic Requirements
     task. If you configure TAR, the configured requirements for all of the student's programs of study can contribute to the units needed for TAR.
    Workday:
    • Assigns the total academic requirement to the academic record based on the primary program of study.
    • Assigns the total academic requirement after evaluating the individual academic requirements towards program completion.
    Academic Period for Registrations Used
