School Course Marks (SCM) Set Default Values (Obsolete)

Introduction

This report populates default values for Alberta-specific fields on the Sections and Student Course Enrollments (CC), if those values are currently not populated.

The following fields on the Sections table are set to default values if they are currently not populated:

  • Course Completion External Credential = N

  • Course Completion Funding Schedule = REG

  • Primary Delivery Method Code = REG

  • Language Code = EN

The following fields on the CC table are set to default values if they are currently not populated:

  • Course Completion Fund Flag = Y. This is set to N for a dropped course.

  • Course Completion External Credential = REG

  • Course Completion Status Code = COM.  This is set to WDR for a dropped course.

  • Course Completion Method Code = REG

It is recommended to set default values prior to running the validation report and reporting course enrollment and marks to the Department of Education.

Important: With PASI integration it is no longer necessary to run this report for Sections.
