DARS occasionally fails to apply a course to the correct area. This
most often happens when the student has a number of courses that are eligible
for use in more than one area. You can fix it by forcing a course out of an
area if it's needed elsewhere.
NOTE: If the student has not yet completed all 75 credits,
wait--and tell the student to be patient. The courses will most likely be
applied correctly in the end.

POSTBACS AND AREAS OF KNOWLEDGE
Notes in
blue
are for postbacs who have satisfied AoK requirements with courses at another
institution.
1. If 20 credits of an area of knowledge were
completed at another college and those credits were never transferred to
UW:
Create an SQ exception.
NOTE: (On EARS, select "Insert or remove a requirement, using a
1-character code (SQ exception)"
--Place a V or I or N after AC1:
and/or AC2:.
On EARS: Enter the code after
"First code to attach."
A second code can be entered after
"Second code to attach."
--To remove all three, use AC1: V and AC2: I.
Create a second SQ exception with AC2: N.
2. If the student has
only partially completed the AoKs elsewhere, waive the number completed in an
RU exception.

|
AREAS OF
KNOWLEDGE
|
|
NOTE:
DARS will
normally juggle courses in the AOKs to the student's best advantage--after
all required courses are taken. However, if it fails, you can bump one out by
creating an exception with the psname
VLPA-REJ,
I&S-REJ,
NW-REJ or
GE-REJ (final group--to bring total to 75) and entering the COURSE you
want to move.
