Changing curricula priorities

Curricula priorities are usually managed in SFAREGS, but there may be occasions when they can only be done in SGASTDN.

In SFAREGS, enter the term and ID in the key block. Start with the first effective term that needs to be updated. If needed, override with “OVR”. Go.

Review the current state to determine what needs to change

In the Curricula tab, review the current curricula priorities by using the right triangle to scroll through. We are only concerned about Current and Active curricula. In this example, MBA is priority 10 and the MD is priority 20. We need to flip them so that MD is priority 10 and MBA is priority 20.

Correct the priorities

To change priority 20 (MD) to priority 10 and the priority 10 (MBA) to priority 20:

1. Take a screenshot or make note of the current priority 20 curriculum, which in this example is the MD. Note the Program, Level, Field of Study, and Department.

   

2. Scroll back to the current priority 10 curriculum. Click the Duplicate button.

   

3. Tab over until you get to the Priority field. Overwrite the 10 with “20”. Tab. You will see the following message in the upper right corner. Click OK. The message will re-appear. Click OK.

   

4. Save. You will be directed back to the Curriculum block. Because we moved the original priority 10 into the priority 20 spot, we now have to create a new priority 10.

5. In the Curriculum block, click Insert.

   

6. You will see the following message in the upper right corner. Click OK.

   

7. Tab over to the Priority field, which now displays “30”. Overwrite the 30 with “10”. Tab.

   

8. Enter the Program string for the new priority 1 curriculum (MD). Tab. The Level will auto-fill, but be sure to check it. Next block.

   

9. Enter the Field of Study. Tab. Department auto-fills, but be sure to check it. Save.

   

10. Repeat for all available future terms.
