Program Requirements

The program rules in Kuali CM allow you to link courses from the course form as requirements. The rules are broken down by type, e.g., looking for courses taken, credits taken, or courses or credits from non-linked categories of courses. It is recommended that the requirements are built in the following order for a program listing: 1) courses needed 2) specific number of courses from a list, 3) number of credits from a list of courses, 4) a number of credits from a described course type, 4) other free text requirements.

Some requirements need to use groupings of courses or programs.

To build a rules group and sub rules, build the first rule and then choose from the ellipsis button.

Choose Create Group then click the + sign to add additional sub rules.

You may also use to group to sets of requirements where you are stating take this OR statement or that OR statement.

In a normal rule you can state completed 1 of the following list of courses, which is basically stating, “Completed this or that.”

If you are trying to build a rule that states a person can complete 1 course from a list of courses OR all (or 1) course(s) from another list of courses you will need to create a Rule Group and Sub rules and use the Group main drop down to choose, “Complete 1 of the following” while the overall rules statement states, “Complete ALL of the following.”

This is the edit/building mode of the grouping.

This is the final product of the grouping.
