Overview
The Off Plan alert identifies students who have not registered for a course that was added to their plan either by their advisor or the student.
This alert compares registration data importing from the SIS and matches those registrations against the planned courses.
- This alert runs daily and will create alerts for students who qualify in a given term.
- Students who have already received an alert inside of the academic term (including any lead time included in the "attributes" field listed below), will not receive a new alert.
- Only academic terms that have started will be considered, taking into consideration the "Days before term start to run" setting (further explained below).
- The off plan alert has no effect on the approval status of an academic plan. Only changes to the courses on the plan itself will change the approval status of a plan.
For example:
Students that are not registered for a course that was on their plan will show an “off plan” status, and may also show that their academic plan is still "approved".
By design, the off plan status does not change the plan status to awaiting advisor feedback, since that depends on if the student made an actual adjustment to their plan.
- If the student does not alter their plan in any way, the approved status will not change.
- If the student does move courses around or drop a course that was on the plan within the platform, the plan status will change to require advisor feedback.
