Brief Description

This web application allows the undergraduate and graduate students to checkout for graduation once they have applied and have no holds on their account.  The Banner screen for the registrar’s office allows everyone in the registrar’s office to dispense graduation tickets and print the form for the bookstore so that students can get their cap and gown. (For graduate students, no tickets are currently dispensed for their ceremony.  Because the students do not have to come to the registrar’s office to collect tickets, their cap and gown form is available to print directly from the web application)

When a student checks out to graduate, a record is written to wreg164.   To accommodate multiple ceremonies, the students are all asked if they are attending the general ceremony.   However, depending upon their degree, they will either be asked if they are attending the ceremony for the School of Arts and Sciences or The School of Education and School of Business Ceremony.   Below is a screen sample for a student in the School of Business.

 

The wreg164 table tracks each value entered.    Updates to  SHBDIPL and SHBCATT with UGYES/UGNO as well as termcode (Spring) are based on their answer to the school specific ceremony.  If they are not attending, the UGNO value is entered in SHBDIPL and SHBCATT.  If they are attending SHBDIPL and SHBCATT will have a UGYES in the appropriate fields. 

 

The graduate version of the above screen lists only the graduate ceremony.

Columns (Highlighted indicates Editable by offices, non-highlighted values can not be changed):

Applied:   The box is checked if the student has applied via the web application process for the term displayed.

                        graduation for that term.

Cleared:    If a student has been cleared for graduation by the school, please check this box.  (Can be used with

                        the batch audit process to identify groups of students for batch audit processing.)

Diploma:  The office of student records uses this value to track diplomas

Problem:  This box is checked if there is a problem that will prevent the student from graduating.  The problem

                        should described in the blank field next to this block.  (Can be used with the batch audit process

                        to identify groups of students for batch audit processing.)

Walk:     This value is set based on the value in the SHRDGMR table.  (shrdgmr_grst_code)  It can not be

                        modified on this screen.  The Office of Student Records can update the value via the SHADEGR

                        screen.

                        for all terms other than spring terms.   For spring, the value will be Unchecked for all students.
