Message

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

Missing Prerequisite Course. The student has not satisfied the prerequisites for {Enrolled Course Description} ({Enrolled Course Code}). The student must take {Course Listing}, or the prerequisites must be waived.

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}.
