[Advising] Excluding Community College Hours from Degree Works

Hello all, We have many students who bring in courses from a junior college that exceed the allowed 66 hours. Sometimes Degree Works will not count a course a student needs if they have exceeded the 66 hours. A new attribute was created that allows you to tell Degree Works not to count a community college course. You can now go in to SHATRNS and code a course that the student does not need with an 'XJCO' attribute. This will only affect Degree Works. What it will do is kick that course out in to 'Not Counted' and automatically pull in another course (hopefully the one that you want). If it does not, then perhaps the student has quite a few extra hours and you may have to add the XJCO to a couple of courses before it will pull in the one you want.

I am trying to see if I can get a few minutes at the all-advisor meeting next week to talk about this and can answer any questions at that time as well.
