This rule is used to validate:

• Course Code (Course Enrolment)

To perform this validation, the following information is used:

• Course Enrolment Status
• Is Deleted (Course Enrolment)
• Are Prerequisites Waived
• Maturity Date
• Section School Year
• Section Reference ID (Course Enrolment)
• First School Year (Course Relationship)
• Last School Year (Course Relationship)
• Can Be Waived
• Number to Complete
• Related Courses
• Achievement Date
• Course Enrolment End Date
• Normalized Mark Value

A student will be deemed missing the prerequisite if, in all school years in which the student takes the course, the student has not met all the prerequisite rules. This rule only applies to Course Enrolment records that meet the following criteria:

• Has a Course Enrolment Status of Registered, Active, or Completed
• Has not been deleted
• Has not had the prerequisites waived ¹⁾ ,
• Is for a student that does not have Mature Student Status as of the Course Enrolment Start Date.

If the rule applies to the Course Enrolment, based on the Section School Year associated to the Section²⁾:

• Identify the “prerequisite rules” for the school year
  • This is completed by finding Course Relationships records for the course in context with a Relationship Type (Course) = PRQ. The Number to Complete, Can Be Waived and Related Courses values provide further clarification on the specific rule. The Related Courses highlight the course(s) that are prerequisites to the course in context.
• Identify if the prerequisite rules that have been satisfied.

The prerequisite rules³⁾ considered by this validation rule include those prerequisite rules that satisfy the following criteria:

• Have a First School Year (Course Relationship) that is the same as or earlier than the Section School Year.
• Do not have a Last School Year (Course Relationship), or have a Last School Year (Course Relationship) that is the same as or later than the Section School Year.
• Can Be Waived = True

If the all the included prerequisite rules have been satisfied, the student has satisfied the prerequisites and the warning is not produced.

When validation rules, the following message is returned to the user:

Where:

• {Enrolled Course Description} is the Course Full English Name of the enrolled course.
• {Enrolled Course Code} is the Course Code of the enrolled course.
• {Course Listing} is a listing of all the missing Course Codes considered by the prerequisite rules.

The Course Listing is derived based on the courses the student needs to take to satisfy the prerequisite rule⁴⁾. There are two scenarios to be considered: Individual Courses that the student must take, and a set of courses that the student must partially take.

• Individual courses are those that are included in prerequisite rules where the number of courses to take match the number of courses is the list of courses (i.e. 1 of 1, 2 of 2, 3 of 3, etc). When a student is missing individual courses from these rules, they are simply listed as {Course Description} - {Course Code}.
• When the student is missing some courses out of a set of courses (example is missing 1 of 2 courses, or 2 of 3 courses, or 2 of 4 courses, etc), the message will include:

{Missing Course Count} of either {Courses} 

• Where {Courses} is formatted as:
  • 1 course: {Course Description} - {Course Code}
  • 2 courses: {Course Description 1} - {Course Code 1} or {Course Description 2} - {Course Code 2}
  • More than 2 courses: {Course Description 1} - {Course Code 1}, {Course Description 2} - {Course Code 2}, {Course Description N} - {Course Code N}, or {Last Course Description} - {Last Course Code}

• Each of the individual courses along with each set of courses are included in the final message. This is formatted as follows:
  • 1 Missing Course/Set: {Course/Set}
  • 2 Missing Courses/Sets: {Course/Set 1} and {Course/Set 2}
  • More than 2 Missing Courses/Sets: {Course/Set 1}, {Course/Set 2}, and {Course/Set 3}.
