Create Decision Policies

Security:
Manage: Student Application Decision Policies
 domain in the Admissions functional area.
You can specify the campus locations or programs of study to assign to applications that meet the specified student eligibility or student condition rules. When you render admissions decisions, you can apply the policies to update the decision details for any applications that meet the eligibility criteria.
  1. Access the relevant task:
    • Maintain Campus Location Decision Policy
    • Maintain Program of Study Decision Policy
    To reduce complexity and optimize performance, Workday recommends assigning program of study decision policies to programs of study. Avoid assigning programs of study decision policies to academic units and academic levels.
  2. (Optional) Select
    Disable Policy
     to stop updating decision details for the academic unit and level or program of study.
    When you disable a policy:
    • The academic unit and level or program of study doesn't inherit any policies from superior academic units.
    • Workday also stops updating decision details for subordinate academic units and programs of study, unless they have their own policies.
    When you reactivate a policy by clearing the check box, Workday restores the hierarchical relationship.
  3. In the grid, add criteria to assign the campus location or program of study to eligible applications.
    Order policy criteria from the most restrictive to the least restrictive. Workday uses the first criteria that matches the application.
  4. (Optional) Select
    Satisfy All Eligibility Rules
     when applications must meet all student eligibility and student condition rules to be eligible for the row.
Render admissions decisions for applications and apply the campus location or program of study decision policy.
