The Submit Mark Approval service can be used to change the approval status (Approved/Not Approved) on one or more PASI Core marks. Marks that can be approved/not approved include:

• Course Enrolment

An approved mark will be visible to all authorized PASI users including Ministry users

The service can be accessed by systems with the Submit Academic Record User role.

• For each mark being set to approved or not approved status:
  • Reference ID * - The Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) used to reference the mark record.
  • PASI Core Version * - The PASI Client’s currently known version of the mark record.

Only organizations that are associated to a mark will be able to change the mark approval status.

• audit information about the change is captured and can be retrieved using the appropriate Get Audit History service (not defined in this document), and
• the Status for the associated mark record is recomputed and may result in new Core Alerts, or changes to existing Core Alerts.
