Unit Version Rules

CONTINUING DEVELOPMENT

The definition of available rules, operators, parameters and functions is part of an ongoing development process. Future delivery sets may offer a broader range of rules, and/or a broader range of rule options for currently available rules. Users may also note that the text used in rule options may be edited from that which existed in an earlier release. Pre-existing rules, using the same rule option, but created in an earlier version, automatically update to reflect the edited text.

Operators

Usage

{ }

Definition: Braces to define the start or end of a set of codes
Example. {MAA101 , MAA102}

,

Definition: Comma as a separator between unit codes
Example. {MAA101 , MAA102}

.

Definition: Full stop/period as a separator between unit code and version number.
Example. {MAA101 . 2,MAA102 . 3}

[ ]

Definition: Square brackets to enclose a set of unit version numbers
Example. {MAA101. [ 1,3-10 ] ,MAA102.3}

+

Definition: Union
Example. Any co-req unit in {mee101} + {mee102 }

-

Definition: Hyphen as a separator between a range of version numbers
Example. {MAA101.[1,3 - 10],MAA102.3}

Any

Definition: Start the rule with 'Any' to specify more that more than one element is required from a set.
Example. Any 2 (I/W) co-req units in {maa10,1maa102,mee101}

( )

Definition: Parentheses may force the order of operation in a complex rule
Example. Must have completed Special Requirement BRONZE MED and (Must have completed Special Requirement GERMANPROF or Must have completed Special Requirement WORKEXP). Without the parentheses a student who completed just WORKEXP would have satisfied the rule.

and

or

For ____ In /Not in ____Do ____ Otherwise ____

Definition: These elements of syntax allow you to define requirements according to specified conditions.
Example. For COURSE_TYPE In { 10 } Do Any co-req unit in {maa101} Otherwise Any co-req unit in {mee101}
AND
 Definition: Used in defining a condition when using a For/Otherwise statement
Example. For COURSE_CODE IN { AAX101 } AND COURSE_TYPE IN { 10} Do Incompatible with {mee101}
OR
 Definition: Used in defining a condition when using a For/Otherwise statement
Example. For COURSE_CODE IN { AAX101 } OR COURSE_TYPE IN { 10} Do Incompatible with {mee101}
