An overview of encumbrance functionality is provided under Management of Existing Enrolments.

Details of Encumbrance Effects, including their impacts within the System, are provided in a separate list.

The System Encumbrance Effect Type block contains:

• System Encumbrance Effect Type
• Description
• Apply To Course check box
• Level
• Level Closed check box

Rules/Notes:

This form is used by the System Administrator or Subsystem Specialist to maintain attributes of the pre-defined System Encumbrance Effect Types. Use it to:

• Alter the Description of Effect Types.
• Close an Effect Type, making it unavailable for further use.

The Apply to Course check box, when selected, indicates that the Encumbrance Effect applies to a student's existing Course Attempt. This use is explained under ENRF6320.

The Level field displays a value from 1 to 3 indicating the position in the 'hierarchy of effects' of each Effect Type, with 3 being the highest.

Rules/Notes:

Encumbrance Effect Types are System defined and cannot be created or deleted by users.

The Apply To Course check box is pre-set for each Effect Type and cannot be changed.

The Level of each Effect Type is pre-set and cannot be changed.

Various rules apply in regard to 'levels' of Effect Types. These include:

• Level 2 effects incorporate the level one effects of the same Encumbrance Category. Similarly, level 3 effects incorporate level 1 and 2.
• Effects of the same Encumbrance Category but at different levels cannot be attached to an Encumbrance Type.

Effects of different sense (+ or -) should not be combined under the same Encumbrance Type.

Effect Types cannot be deleted. They can be closed preventing further use.
