Understanding Academic Requirements

Academic requirements are graduation rules; that is, rules that the students must follow to successfully complete their academic objectives. Academic requirements include requirement parameters, preconditions, connector types, partitions, detail requisites or restrictions, and line item parameters. Requirements can be simple (for example, a minimum grade point average [GPA] of 3.000) or complex (for example, one that has many parts).

After setting up academic requirements, you must attach them to requirement groups. Only then can the audit engine apply a requirement against a student's academic record.
