Curriculum Management > Enrollment Requirements > Define Tests for Requisites > Define Tests for Requisites

Set up test information for use in conditions in enrollment requirement groups and requirements.

Access the Define Tests for Requisites page (Curriculum Management > Enrollment Requirements > Define Tests for Requisites > Define Tests for Requisites).

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Define Tests for Requisites page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

 Define Tests for Requisites page

Use this page to identify the tests and related data that you want to use in conditions in enrollment requirement groups and requirements. The Test IDs are already defined in the Test Tables component. Here, you are identifying which Test IDs and related data that you want to use in enrollment requisites.

Important! If you want to use test scores in academic requirements, you must define your Test IDs and related data in the Define Tests for Advisement component.

See Setting Up Tests for Use in Academic Advisement

Note: Tests defined in this component are saved with a requirement usage code of ENR. Users can retrieve such rows using this component only.

Field or Control

Description

Test ID

Select the Test ID (such as ACT, GMAT, or GRE) that you want to use in enrollment requirement groups or enrollment requirements. The system displays values defined on the Test Tables page. This field is unavailable for entry unless you are in Add mode.

Status

Select the status of the report identifier. Values are:

Active: Select when adding a new report identifier.

Inactive: Select only if your institution no longer uses this report identifier.

Values for this field are delivered with your system as translate values. Do not modify these values in any way. Any modification to these values will require a substantial programming effort.

Months Valid

Enter the number of months for which a test score can be considered valid. An empty (blank) field is interpreted to mean that the test is always valid.

Test Score Method

Select the test score method. Values are:

Average of All Scores Taken: Select to have the enrollment engine average scores for a given test when it processes the test for a condition in an enrollment requirement or requirement group.

First Test Taken: Select to have the enrollment engine use the test score with the earliest date when it processes the test for a condition in an enrollment requirement or requirement group.

Highest Score: Select to have the enrollment engine use the highest score for a given test when it processes the test for a condition in an enrollment requirement or requirement group.

Last Test Taken: Select to have the enrollment engine use the score from the last test date taken when it processes the test for a condition in an enrollment requirement or requirement group.

Lowest Score: Select to have the enrollment engine use the lowest score for a given test when it processes the test for a condition in an enrollment requirement or requirement group.

Enable User to Override Method

By default, this check box is cleared, which means that the user is unable to change this value for this test ID in the Enrollment Requirement, Enrolment Requirement Group, or Define Requisite Conditions component pages.

Select this check box if you want to enable a user to change the Test Score Method field value on the enrollment requirement or enrollment requirement group components. This check box label is defined in the Message Catalog. You can change this label as needed.

Enable User to Override Months

By default, this check box is cleared, which means that the user is unable to change the Months Valid field value in the academic requirement or academic requirement group component pages. Select this check box if you want to enable a user to change the Test Score Method field value on the Enrollment Requirement, Enrolment Requirement Group, or Define Requisite Conditions components. This check box label is defined in the Message Catalog. You can change this label as needed.

Data Source

Select one or more valid data sources (American College Testing, for example) for the test ID you are defining. Values for this field are delivered with your system as translate values. You can modify these translate values. The delivered testing agency values that appear here are American College Testing, College Board, Educational Testing Services, and Law School Admission Services. These are the data sources that are considered valid when processing a test score in an enrollment requirement or requirement group.
