Hello forum

Can anybody explain what Academic Substitutions functionality does in student self service (in Online Audits). Clicking on it opens up an empty table

Hi Andreas;

Since Ehp5 we delivered this feature which allows academic substitutions (for an individual student in his/her individual degree audit) to be made for audit purposes. For a given student, it is

possible to define different academic work objects (SM,CQ,CW) that can be used to fulfill a sub-requirement.

For example: you have defined a requirement for Mathematics 101.;Grade to be achieved is B. For that Sub-requirement you can now also specify other academic work that will be accepted in place of the Mathematics 101. For example Physics 101; grade to be achieved is C. In this case, Physics will be considered as the Substitution if the advisor has maintained Physics as an substitution for the Mathematics 101 sub-requirement for that student.

In summary: academic substitutions have to be maintained for students individually. If an advisor needs to maintain an academic substitution for a certain sub-requirement, this can be done using the Profile Management Application, Audit Run Application or Substitution Stand Alone Application.

The following types of academic substitutions can be defined:

  1. Addition: The defined work substitutions can be used, in addition to the work normally.
  2. Exclusion: The defined work substitutions specifically cannot be used, even though they are normally found by the sub-requirement filter.
  3. Override: The defined work substitutions completely replace the work normally found by the sub-requirement filter.

The student can only view/read the academic substitutions made by for example his advisor.

Kind regards

Rob
