You can once again see if a program's status is "Completed" in APAS self-services.
You can also now see if a student's program status is "Discontinued" again, however you will only see discontinued programs on a student's record if all programs are discontinued. Important info to be aware of for viewing discontinued APAS
A student with any active, completed, waitlist or leave of absence programs will show those and no discontinued programs.
A student with multiple career #’s will only show the highest career number for a discontinued program if none are active, completed, waitlist or leave of absence programs.
A student with one career and multiple plans all discontinued will show all.
Future dated plans in the same career:
The future-most PeopleSoft plan of the same career level (UGRD, GRD, MED) is pulled in by the SQL when the PeopleSoft plans have the same Effective Sequence number. This is the same behavior as in DARS based APAS.
There is a difference, however, in logic when a student switches career levels (UGRD to GRD, GRD to UGRD) and has a new career number . The program with the current (not future-dated) effective date is pulled in this case. I.e. if they switch from UGRD to GRD in Spring 2020, the UGRD will be displayed until the effective date of their new career level.
If the student switches the colleges, then we will continue to see future-dated APAS reports appear.
Past Liberal Education "what-if" catalog logic will no longer be available in APAS self service. Solution: Update the student's Requirement Year (RY) to see how different UMD Catalog Year requirements impact the student's progress toward degree.
Transfer Credit APAS report will no longer be available on the APAS "home page". Solution: Use the APAS "what-if" and select their "College"and "Transfer Course Evaluation" to see how a student's coursework transfers to UMD.
Matriculated students with a Major who have an Academic Plan = "None" (0041NDG49) will no longer see a "Generic Student Course Report", Alternative: There will be a message directing them to contact advising for assistance or to run a "What-if APAS report".
