Creating Transition Point Templates

Create Transition Points

The Unit Administrator can formulate a checklist of steps (transition points) that a student must complete to satisfy the requirements of the program.

Here are the steps to create Transition Points: 

  1. Click on Administration in the side menu.
  2. Click on Transition Point Templates located in the side menu below.

    1. Under the Criteria sub-column, click on None.
    2. Click on Add New.
    3. Define Criteria as per your requirements:

        Note: Similarly, you can add criteria for each step. The transition points are automatically checked off based on the fulfillment of the selected criteria by the data load.
         

  15. Click Add.
  16. Before saving the template, you must identify the Active version of the template. The Active version of the template will remain associated with the program.
  17. Click Update. Note: Similarly, you can add criteria for each step. The transition points are automatically checked-off based on the fulfillment of the selected criteria when the data load occurs.
