Understanding Academic Program and Plan Activation
A student must be active in an academic program and plan to later be activated into a term for that academic program and plan. You can activate students into academic programs and plans by either of the following methods:
Transmit the student's academic program and plan data through the Activate Applications matriculation process (ABPCPPRC) in PeopleSoft Recruiting and Admissions, this being the usual method.
Enter the student's academic program and plan data manually in the Student Program/Plan component.
The system stores the student's academic program and plan data on rows in the academic program table (ACAD_PROG). Collectively, all of a student's rows in the ACAD_PROG table are called the student's program stack. Now the individual is active in an academic program and plan and qualifies for activation into a term.
