AIDM Processing


This process will create or update records in the Electronic Admissions Student Record Table (SABSTUD) for completed electronic applications.  This allows all applications that a student has submitted to be associated with the same AIDM.  When a student log-ins to the portal all electronic applications can then be accessed.  This process should run after the Electronic Application Purge Process (SARETPG).

Create B2, C2, D2 Admission Decisions


This process adds an Admission Decision code (SAADCRV) to ensure that students maintain a correct BRM funnel status when they have multiple applications for the same term.

 

An Admisson Decision code (SAADCRV) will be created for the following population:

Students with more than one application for the same term where the latest decision is not ‘B2’, ‘C2’ or ‘D2’ and has one or more decisions starting with a ‘B’, ‘C’, or ‘D’

Decisions will be added for the following conditions:

  • When all applications have been cancelled or denied update the oldest ‘B’ decision to ‘B2’, ‘C’ to ‘C2’, and ‘D’ to ‘D2’ but leave the most recent decision untouched.
  • If one of the applications has a decision of ‘B’, ‘C’ or ‘D’ and the other applications have either no decision or a decision other than ‘B’, ‘C’ or ‘D’, update all older decisions with a ‘B’, ‘C’ or ‘D’ to ‘B2’, ‘C2’, or ‘D2’ respectively.

Create Confidential (RD) Decision


For students who have a Special Admission Consideration Request (AD) code on the General Medical Information form (GOAMEDI), an Admission Decision code (SAADCRV) of Confidential (RD) is created.  This nightly process selects applicants who do not already have an RD code or RW (Referred Waiting) code and who do not already have a significant decision for the current academic term or future terms.  An email is sent to a distribution list notifying the recipients that a file is available for viewing.  The RW code is entered manually.

Emails to Approvers in Referral System


As part of the Admissions Referral System, there is an Admission Referral Control for Queue Management that includes a field to indicate if the Approver should be notified if there are pending Referrals that need a decision.  This nightly process selects all active programs with referrals in a referred status.  An email is sent to the approver based on the indicated frequency.  The email is sent to the Referral Distribution list if no approvers are attached to the queue.  There are separate distribution lists for graduate and undergraduate student referrals.

Maintain County, State, and Nation Information


For all applications an Application Supplemental Information (SOASUPL) record needs to be created. The SOASUPL record needs to include the county and state of the applicant. A permanent address is looked for first. If there is no permanent address then the process is looking for a mailing address. The county and state are retrieved and that data is inserted into SOASUPL.

  • Non-Florida: County = NFLA, State = State code
  • Non-USA: County = NUSA, State = XX

This process also updates the Admission Nation field on SOASUPL based on the Nation of Citizen field from the International Information (GOAINTL) form.

Manage Application Fee Checklist Items


This process manages application fee checklist items for undergraduate students (excluding admit types of Graduate Applicant (PG)).  Students with future application terms where the application fee item is not met and there are previous applications where the fee has been paid will be selected for processing.  The application fee checklist item will be met in the following conditions:

  • Active General Student (SGASTDN) record where student type is the same on the application
  • Application fee has been paid within the last year on any other application 

This process also manages the creation and deletion of Require Application Fee (RM) decision codes, which indicates a missing fee.  'RM' decision codes will only be added when the student does not have a significant admissions decision.

 

Lastly, the process will remove Application Fee (AFEE) checklist items when there is an Application Fee Waiver (AFWR) or Application Fee Not Required (AFNO) checklist item.  This ensures that students exempt or waived from the fee are not charged.

Manage Conduct Records for Applications


For manual applications a batch process will populate the Admissions Student Conduct table based on the decision code entered.

  • NL (needs legal document) decision code – a ‘Y’ will be entered as the conduct code. (NOTE: A NL decision code should be used when any conduct questions are answered with a Y.)
  • NA (no answer to conduct questions) decision code – a ‘U’ will be entered as the conduct code. (NOTE: A NA decision code should be used when there are no answers to the conduct questions.)
  • NN (answered no to conduct questions) decision code – a ‘N’ will be entered as the conduct code. (NOTE: The NN decision code will be deleted from Admission Decision (SAADCRV) after the conduct code is inserted.) 

This process also adds an NL decision code to any applications where the conduct code is ‘Y’, ‘R’, ‘D’ or ‘I’ and there is not an ‘A’ conduct code for that application.

Manage Emails for Admissions References


When a student identifies a reference for their admissions application, this process will handle email notifications to that reference.  Immediately after the student submits their reference, an email notification is sent instructing the reference how to submit materials for the student.  A week later, a reminder email will go out to the reference.  Two weeks after the reminder, a second reminder email will be sent.  If the reference is not active then the emails will not be sent.

Manage Tokens for Admissions References


Each admissions reference has a token which allows them access to upload recommendation materials for an applicant.  This process will inactivate tokens as follows:

  • Disabled:  if the admissions checklist item for the student’s recommendation letter has been met or if the application no longer exists, the reference’s token will be disabled
  • Expired:  if the reference has not completed the process within a week of the second reminder email, the reference’s token will expire

In addition, if the token is disabled or expired then any information submitted by the reference will be removed and the reference's name will be removed from the checklist item.

Monday Report


The Strategic Enrollment Management committee analyzes applicant activity each week for upcoming terms with comparisons for like prior terms during the same week of prior years.  In order to accomplish this task, a process runs every week on Monday morning.  The data is preserved in local tables to accommodate various reports. 

 

The first job, WSA2000, captures data for all students.  The students that are captured in the extract are as follows: 

  • Students who do not have SGASTDN records
  • Students who were admitted but did not matriculate.  These students may have been admitted for a prior term and will have a SGASTDN record.
  • Students who have broken continuous enrollment but have not yet been readmitted
  • Students who have broken continuous enrollment but have a current SGASTDN record, i.e. have been readmitted
  • Students who have changed student type 

Each item above is executed separately.

 

The second job, WSA2001, captures additional data for FTIC students.  The FTIC students are copied from the table created in WSA2000 into another table just for FTICs.  Additional data is collected for this population including high school code, high school GPA, SAT and ACT scores.

Re-process Admissions Workflow Queues


This job re-processes admissions workflow queues. It is run nightly for all active queues but is available to be run on-demand in Banner for a specific queue. The following is involved in re-processing a queue:

  1. An application pool is built using the defined queue parameters (i.e. max application term, student type, etc.) excluding those still undergoing Admission Processing review and those that already have a significant decision
  2. Remove all workflow items for any applications that no longer exist
  3. Remove all unassigned workflow items for applications that no longer meet the queue parameters (excluding those manually added)
  4. Each application is then examined to see if it meets any of the workflow item criteria defined for the queue and if so the appropriate workflow items are added to the queue (existing workflow items for the student are also removed at this stage if they no longer meet the parameters defined for the workflow item)
  5. Any newly added workflow items for an in-process applicant are assigned to the same user
  6. The non-workflow transcript processing table is cleared of unselected transcripts (this step and the following two only occur if all active queues have been processed)
  7. Unreviewed transcripts that are not part of a workflow queue are added to the non-workflow transcript processing table
  8. Any newly added transcripts for a student who already has transcripts selected are assigned to the same user
  9. Transcripts selected on the non-workflow transcript processing screen are removed if a corresponding workflow item was added

Update GPA on High School Information (SOAHSCH)


UNF is using a non-Banner form to record High School Information in Banner (SWAHSCH).  In order to maintain accuracy in other processes and reports, this nightly process copies the High School GPA from SWAHSCH to the Banner High School Information (SOAHSCH) form.  The criteria for selecting the GPA are as follows: 

  • If the Transcript used for Admission Decision is checked on SWAHSCH and the Admissions GPA is greater than zero, then the Admissions GPA is used to update the GPA on SOAHSCH
  • If the Transcript used for Admission Decision is checked on SWAHSCH, the Admissions GPA is zero, then the GPA on Transcript is used to update the GPA on SOAHSCH

The criteria are evaluated in order.  Once a condition is met, then the other conditions will be skipped.  In addition, graduation date, class rank, class size, percentile, diploma code and the college prep indicator are also copied.

Almost all manual input of transcript information is done on the Transfer Course Information form (SHATRNS). The only manual thing that will need to be updated or entered on the Prior College form (SOAPCOL) is a verified degree a student received at a prior institution. This could include the actual degree if it doesn’t already exist on SOAPCOL and/or the Primary Degree Indicator checkbox on SOAPCOL. Otherwise, all information needs to be entered on SHATRNS and then the necessary information will be copied from SHATRNS to SOAPCOL. For a list of fields on SHATRNS and the corresponding information that will be copied into SOAPCOL see table 1.

Update Residency from the Electronic Transcript


Residency for tuition purposes (Florida Resident, Non-Florida Resident, etc) is captured on both the Admissions record (SAAADMS) and the General Student record (SGASTDN).  An electronic transcript may include this residency information.  This nightly process retrieves the residency from the electronic transcript and updates the residency on both the Admissions record and General Student record.  Only students whose Citizenship is ‘Citizen’ or ‘Permanent Resident’ and whose residency is ‘Incomplete’ will be selected for the update.  This information is saved to the Applications Supplemental Information (SOASUPL) form.  If a student does not already have a record then their residency cannot be updated.  Students who have broken continuous enrollment, who are registered for the process term, or who do not have residency noted on their transcript are excluded from the update.
