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.
Note some rules use upper and lower case variations. Always use the case supplied in the options for the rule being created.
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.
Note some rules use upper and lower case variations. Always use the case supplied in the options for the rule being created.
Example:
Must complete 4 units in {ADH601, ADH602, ADH603, ADH604, ADH605} or Must complete 4 units in {ABF101, ABF102, ABF103, ABF104, ABF105, ABF106} 

AND

OR

{ }

Definition:
Braces which enclose course/unit/level codes.
Example:
Set of Articulated Courses {A300,A313,A316}

,

Definition:
Comma as a separator between course/unit codes.
Example:
Threshold of 12 must have units {AIF241, AIF242, AIH251, AIP107, ASB310, ASC101, ASC204, ASC370, ASL112, ASL204, ASL206}

.

Definition:
Full stop/period is used as a separator between grading schema code and grade.
It may also be available for use as a separator between a course/unit code and version number, if so designated in RULF0100.
Example:
Must pass 3 credit points in {ADH601 } with grade of at least STANDARD . C

Set of Articulated Courses {A300,A313,A316.2}
For course A316, only considers version 2

:

Definition:
Colon may be available for use as a separator between course/unit code and version number, if so designated in RULF0100.
Example:
Set of Articulated Courses {A300,A313,A316:2}
For course A316, only considers version 2

[ ]

Definition:
Square brackets to enclose a set of version numbers.
Example:
Set of Articulated Courses {A300, A313, A316.[1-3,5]}
For course A316, only considers versions 1, 2, 3 and 5.
