We use SFAMREG to add students into or drop students from a CRN.

SFAMREG handles the following scenarios:

• Moving students from one CRN to another CRN

• Performing a mass add of students into a CRN

• Performing a mass drop of students from a CRN

• Performing a mass add to a CRN and a mass drop from another CRN

Add/drop best practices

• The class roster has information that should be reviewed before proceeding with the mass add/drop. As a safety measure you should extract the data on SFASLST, the class roster, and save it before you make any changes. Refer to instructions on “Extracting Banner data”. Or save a class roster from the Gibson Self Service reports.

• The course should not be graded, specifically if the course will be dropped. Mass add drops usually occur before the semester begins, or shortly thereafter. As an example, TIDB courses from fall are graded, when moving students to spring, but that is OK, because the fall course registration will not be dropped.

• Review the default Grade Mode for students on the class roster. You will need this in SFAMREG.

• Check for student Status of WL=Waitlisted. If any student is waitlisted, the student must be entered manually, in the existing order. Due to the added complexity, best processed by the Registrar’s Office Class Scheduler.

• Level should also be considered in case you have a student that was permitted to enroll in the non-defaulted level for the course. SFAMREG should provide a message, as level cannot be viewed on SFASLST.

To drop students

• Before dropping students, export the roster from SFASLST so you have a snapshot of the current state in case you need to restore a record.

• The course should not be graded. Bulk drop/adds usually occur before the semester starts or shortly thereafter.

• Note the default Grade Mode for students from the class roster.

• Check for students with statuses of WL. If any student is waitlisted, they must be entered manually in the existing order. It’s best to refer these to Class Schedule.

• Level should also be considered in the event you have a student who was allowed to register in the non-default level. Level is not on the SFASLST roster, but SFAMREG will give a message.

Moving students from one CRN to another

Students can be moved from one CRN to another, whether for the same term or a different term.

Use this Tab to add or drop a course for the students selected in the previous Search Tab. In the following scenario we are adding a course in a future term and not dropping the course from the prior term.

Enter the term you want to register the student for. Use the Registration Course Add Values section to enter the CRN to be added. Values for other fields are defaulted.

Add the grade mode for the course. The drop down arrow provides the grade modes available for the course.

In most instances you will select S=Standard.

However, as part of the extracting of SFASLST, you should have reviewed the defaulted grade mode.

Students enrollment in the initial course has been validated, for this reason it is OK to Indicate No Check for all options. Fee Assessment Options, select Create Assessment Collector Record.
