Usage

( )

Definition: Parenthesis, to force execution order

Example.
(Must pass 20 credit points And Must complete special requirement of type FIRST AID) or Must pass credit points for course with no more than 4 CP of CONCEDED-PASS
is not the same as:
Must pass 20 credit points And (Must complete special requirement of type FIRST AID or Must pass credit points for course with no more than 4 CP of CONCEDED-PASS)

&

Definition: Ampersand to allow the appending of another completion rule to the current rule. It 'vertically' separates the component rules and each component part is evaluated independently. On PRGF9030 a message is returned explaining the result for each component rule and a 'total' result is displayed through a lamp.

Example:
Must pass 8 credit points at levels {1, 2, 3} &

Must have a course grade point average mark equal to or greater than 3.5

And

Definition: Logical conjunction. This provides the facility to join component rules logically into a 'single' rule. The resulting rule is evaluated as a whole.

Example.
Must complete credit points for course with no more than 1credit point of pass conceded And Must complete 4 units in {ADH601, ADH602, ADH603, ADH604, ADH605}

or

Definition: Logical OR

Example.
Must complete 4 units in {ADH601, ADH602, ADH603, ADH604, ADH605} or Must complete 4 units in {ABF101, ABF102, ABF103, ABF104, ABF105, ABF106}
