Adding and dropping students in bulk (SFAMREG)

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

• Registering students in a CRN in the current or future term based on previous term registration

Open

• 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.

If you have a list of IDs and prefer not to paste them in on the Results tab, upload your manual population selection. Loading IDs from a .csv for bulk processing (GJAJFLU/GJAPCTL/GJRPSIM/GLAEXTR)

This works best if you have a list of more than 30. Otherwise, it likely makes more sense to copy and paste ID numbers.

Enter the Registration Term.

In the Population Selection section:

• Application: STUDENT

• Selection ID: the selection ID from your load

• Creator ID: your username in all caps

In the Registration Course Add Values block, enter the CRN. Confirm the Grade Mode and Level; update if needed.

Fatal = if error is present for student, it will not register

No check = error will be overridden

Can alter which errors to check for based on your needs, OK to select No Check for ALL options

Ensure error check selections are accurate before moving to next tab. If you backtrack to previous tabs before final save (on Results tab), error check info will return to default selections.

In Results block, click Select All next to Results.

In the Submission block, check the Submit box. Save.

Review and export results and save them in the Registrar Reporting Box folder.

• 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.
