How to Build Degree Audits (CAPP)
Step #1: Understand the different types of degree audits
Step #2: Understand the forms and tools that you have to build degree audits
Step #3: Understand how the degree audits will display on SSB (i.e. Simple, Complex Rule, Complex Group)
Step #4: Review Curricula/Program and decide the type of degree audit and best method to build (i.e. area, area/rule, group/area)
![Page 5: LCTCS DEGREE EVALUATION WORKBOOK...Step #3: SSB Format When Using Different Tools Example #1: Courses all built in area(s) without rules Pro: Student and Advisor can see the subject](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040907/5e7d349c219a95071a5ab4d7/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Step #5: Build Degree Audit (CAPP)
Step #6: Add text, if applicable
Step #1: Types of Degree Audits
No Concentrations:
o Captive: Simple – all courses attached to curricula using area(s) (SMAAREA)
o Captive: Complex – all courses attached to curricula using area/rule (SMAAREA) or group (SMAGROP) but have complex and/or statements.
Concentrations:
o Non-Captive: Simple – All courses are attached to the curricula using area(s) (SMAAREA) except for the concentrations.
o Non-Captive: Complex – all courses attached to curricula using area/rule (SMAAREA) or group (SMAGROP) because they have complex and/or statements. The concentrations are not attached.
Step #2: Tools to Build Complex Rules:
Forms:
SMAPROG
SMAALIB
SMAAREA
SMIGROP
SMAGROP Tools:
Attribute: Tie attribute to a group of courses. The attribute can be added to a rule or group. o SCADETL
Rule: Create one rule which includes multiple courses with and/or statements. o SMAALIB – area library
o SMAAREA – build library
Group: build group of course that can then be added to an area o SMIGROP – group library
o SMAGROP – build groups
![Page 6: LCTCS DEGREE EVALUATION WORKBOOK...Step #3: SSB Format When Using Different Tools Example #1: Courses all built in area(s) without rules Pro: Student and Advisor can see the subject](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040907/5e7d349c219a95071a5ab4d7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Step #3: SSB Format When Using Different Tools
Example #1: Courses all built in area(s) without rules Pro: Student and Advisor can see the subject and course number for all courses required. Con: Only works with programs that have very little variety because it gives the exact class the student must take.
Example #2: Rules used to build some of courses within an area Con: The advisor & student can’t see the course subject/numbers on the degree audit. That information will only population once the student has taken the courses and pass or registered in the course. Text can be added to the area to provide what courses can be taken to satisfy the rule.
Courses built in the area.
Notice each course is listed so
student know exactly what they
must take to earn their degree.
![Page 7: LCTCS DEGREE EVALUATION WORKBOOK...Step #3: SSB Format When Using Different Tools Example #1: Courses all built in area(s) without rules Pro: Student and Advisor can see the subject](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040907/5e7d349c219a95071a5ab4d7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Example #3: Groups Pro: All courses (subject code & number) are viewable on the degree audit. Con: Degree Audit can be extremely long.
Comment for rule “Approved
Science Elective”
Rules built within an area. Notice courses options are not
listed. Once a student takes a course that falls within the rule
it populates the degree audit on the right. A comment can be
added to the area for the rule to list courses that apply.
Provides list of groups
within program
![Page 8: LCTCS DEGREE EVALUATION WORKBOOK...Step #3: SSB Format When Using Different Tools Example #1: Courses all built in area(s) without rules Pro: Student and Advisor can see the subject](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040907/5e7d349c219a95071a5ab4d7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Step #4: Analyze the Curricula
Analyze curriculum to decide:
What type of degree audit is the curriculum?
o No Concentration(s):
Captive—simple,
captive—complex,
o Concentrations:
non-captive—simple,
non-captive--complex
If the curriculum is complex what tool would be best to build the curriculum?
o Attribute
o Rule
o Group
Step #5: Build Degree Audit (CAPP)
Locate or Create Naming Conventions
1. Locate Name of program on SOACURR (you must use the name used on SOACURR)
2. Locate or create name for all areas/groups within a curriculum.
Note: When building area or group names
make sure it is something a student would
understand.
Each group has an area and within the
area the courses are listed.
![Page 9: LCTCS DEGREE EVALUATION WORKBOOK...Step #3: SSB Format When Using Different Tools Example #1: Courses all built in area(s) without rules Pro: Student and Advisor can see the subject](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040907/5e7d349c219a95071a5ab4d7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
3. If each area is a credential within a curriculum then you will want to use the name built for the exit
level on SOACURR.
a. If the area/group is not a credential within a curriculum you will want to create your own
naming convention.
b. Make sure the group and area name is something the student will understand.
c. All groups must be tied to an area so if you are building groups you will need to make an
area name and a group name. Note, if you are tying multiple groups together in an area you
only need one area name for the group.

Enter Student’s Banner ID
Enter Term
o if you want the wavier to affect all catalog terms enter term as 000000
o if you only want it to apply to the current catalog term attached to students current record
you will need to locate the student’s current catalog term and enter that term. The term is
located on the students SGASTDN Record/curricula tab or upper right side of the degree
evaluation.

o Note: if you Program rules are all built using credit hours then you would want to enter WCR
since that is the only one that would include the credit hours.
Enter the number of Credits
Save
Note: you can also limit the waiver to a specific program. For example you want to waive the course for the
TD-BOTD program. Then you would enter TD-BOTD in the Program field in the Valid Programs Block.
Now the degree audit will show that ORNT 1000 has been waived and the credit hours for the course will be
included in the number of credit hours used as well as the course in the used courses.

Substitution Student still needs CSRV 1000 but they have taken and passed KYBD 1010 so I want to substitute CSRV1000
with KYBD 1010.
Complete a Substitution
Access SMASADJ
Enter Student’s Banner ID
Enter Term
o if you want the wavier to affect all catalog terms enter term as 000000
o if you only want it to apply to the current catalog term attached to students current record
you will need to locate the student’s current catalog term and enter that term. The term is
located on the students SGASTDN Record/curricula tab or upper right side of the degree
evaluation.
Perform Next block
If student is not in the library you will have to do the following:
o Select Add
o Select Yes
o Select OK
Select Substitutions
You will need to enter the requirement in the requirement field and the substitution in the
substitutions field

Enter SUB in the Action Field
Enter the number of Credits (remember if your SMAPROG rules are built using credit hours then you
will want to make sure that the credit hours you entered in the substitution credit hours field
matches the credit hours for the course in the requirement fields.)
Save
Note: you can also limit the substitution to a specific program. For example you substitution to only be
applicable for the TD-BOTD program. Then you would enter TD-BOTD in the Program field in the Valid
Programs Block.
Now the degree audit will show that the requirement for CSRV 1000 has been meet by KYBD 1010 and the
credit hours for the course will be included in the number of credit hours used as well as the course in the
used courses.

Understanding How ‘X’ Articulated Courses Will Affect Degree Evaluation
When colleges began articulating all courses on the transfer official transcript some college decided to built
the courses that didn’t have an equivalent at their college as “XXXX-XXXX” or DEVN XXXX.” This was a
methods used to get the courses on the college transcript and the hours on the student overall GPA
information for Financial Aid. Since college have begun to use degree evaluation this decides is causing some
issue so each college needs to review and make some decisions.
Example/Description of Issues You May Encounter
The rule on SMAAREA for a program stated the student could take any courses between WELD
1000 – 2000 to meet the requirement on their degree evaulation.
The advisor located one of the courses that was articulated with the code XXXX-XXXX that
would meet the requirement of the WELD 1000-2000 so he did a course substitution on
SMASADJ. On SMASADJ she enter the college course as WELD 1100 and the substitution course
as XXXX-XXXX
With the rule built with the course high and low –no sub courses was pulled into the degree
audit.
![Page 35: LCTCS DEGREE EVALUATION WORKBOOK...Step #3: SSB Format When Using Different Tools Example #1: Courses all built in area(s) without rules Pro: Student and Advisor can see the subject](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040907/5e7d349c219a95071a5ab4d7/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The SMAAREA rule was changed to list all the courses instead individually instead of doing the
high & low
The substitutions on SMASADJ were still built with XXXX-XXXX.
Even though only one sub was built for WELD 1100 the process pulled in two courses with XXXX
XXXX to meet the guidelines of the rule for 6 credit hours.
This could be problematic if:
One or more of the classes are not an equivalent to the courses built on SMASADJ.
Several XXXX-XXXX courses pull in for one wavier in a particular area and you need to
use it for another area.
![Page 36: LCTCS DEGREE EVALUATION WORKBOOK...Step #3: SSB Format When Using Different Tools Example #1: Courses all built in area(s) without rules Pro: Student and Advisor can see the subject](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040907/5e7d349c219a95071a5ab4d7/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Possible Solutions Course will all X’s for course number
The course was original articulated with CINS XXXX. As you can see I could built a sub and the
CINS XXXX courses was articulated. However, the student had multiple courses with CINS
XXXX. Banner will pull the first courses. There is no way to tell Banner which course to choose
because they have the same subject and course number.
Possible Solution #1: Build Transfer Courses with at least one number in the course number field with X’s
By Giving the CINS courses a number I was able to tell the system the exact course I wanted to use in the
substitution. However, note that if the student has two courses transfer from the same college are different
colleges and both courses meet the rules (ex. C or better) banner will pull the first course it encounters that
meets the rule.
![Page 37: LCTCS DEGREE EVALUATION WORKBOOK...Step #3: SSB Format When Using Different Tools Example #1: Courses all built in area(s) without rules Pro: Student and Advisor can see the subject](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040907/5e7d349c219a95071a5ab4d7/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Possible Solution #2: BUILDING COURSES WITH SUBJECT CODE THAT IS COMPARABLE
By entering transfer courses using a subject code in which the course could be used as a substitution with a
course number that has at least one number with X’s would allow you to select the exact course you want to
sub.
The course below “EMME 2711” is a comparable course to WELD. So the college built the equivalent for
EMME 2771 at WELD 1XXX.
The advisor built the course substitution as college course WELD 1110; substitution course WELD 1XXX.
The degree evaluation pulled in the exact course that was listed on SMASADJ as the substitution.
![Page 38: LCTCS DEGREE EVALUATION WORKBOOK...Step #3: SSB Format When Using Different Tools Example #1: Courses all built in area(s) without rules Pro: Student and Advisor can see the subject](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040907/5e7d349c219a95071a5ab4d7/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Possible Solution #3: BUILDING COURSES WITH SUBJECT CODE FROM TRANSFER COLLEGE IF NOT COMPARABLE TO COLLEGE
Even though the college doesn’t offer the course at your college you could build the equivalent course using
the subject codes used by the transfer college with #XXX.
The advisor enter the substitution on SMASADJ.
The degree evaluation pulls the correct substitute course.
Conclusion: Building Transfer Courses with XXXX XXXX is going to be problematic when a substitution needs to be
performed for a courses that was articulated with XXXX XXXX. Recommendation: Build all transfer courses with a Subject code and at least one number to distinguish the different between the courses. Also, remember that even though it is a different college you would still want to use different numbers in case the student has transfer work from multiple colleges. A grid would have to be created to keep up with this. Some thought is going to have to go into this.
All Degree Audit areas/rules that contain high/low would have to be changed to include each course to work with the X courses.
Please Keep in Mind: o If you built two courses with the same subject and number and the first course that Banner
encounters is a F then it will stop and not use the second course even if he has a grade of C or better.
