Repackaging Students with Multiple Careers

The Mass Packaging and Repackaging processes handle students with multiple careers similarly. For multiple repackaging plans for careers, the order in which these repackaging plans are invoked determines the award outcomes. As part of both repackaging setup and Repackaging processing, you must specify which career or the order of careers to reevaluate.

On the Repackaging Plan setup component, assign the processing order sequentially by career. Then, on the run control options for the Repackaging process, specify the careers that should be repackaged. For example, Career1 RPKG1, Career1 RPKG2, Career2 RPKG1, Career2 RPKG2 might be the order. The system repackages the student for each career based on the processing order associated with the repackaging plan.

Note:

If no awards exist on the student's package for a particular career, the student is not repackaged for that career, and the user receives the following message: 9590 - Student has no awards for the specified Academic Career.

For Auto Repackaging, select the career against which the student will be repackaged and then click the Repackage button. If you specify a repackaging plan before clicking the Repackage button, the system ensures that the selected plan matches the selected career before repackaging the student. If you do not specify a repackaging plan before clicking the Repackage button, the system evaluates the selection criteria and the processing order of the repackaging plan table, and then it processes the student for the first matching repackaging plan for that career. If it does not find an eligible repackaging plan, the student is not repackaged.
