Course Modification Tab Instructions

This tab is used to manipulate individual courses and behind the scenes code (CC 鈥 Condition Codes) on the DARS. USE CAUTIOUSLY: The CC exception applies to all instances of the course throughout the DARS. The CC exception code should only be used with instruction from the DARS Team. Feel free to contact us at dars@ohio.edu if you are unsure about whether this exception is needed.

CC exception

CC 鈥 Add/Remove Course

This exception code is used to manage behind the scenes code in DARS, called Condition Codes (CC). This exception should only be used when an exception processor is advised to do so by the DARS Team. As a reminder, this exception code applies to all instances of a course throughout a student鈥檚 DARS.

In the example below, the University Curriculum Council (UCC) has approved a course restriction that does not allow students to have credit for EDTE 1000 and EDTE 1010. However, the student below completed both courses before the restriction was in place. An Assistant Dean has contacted the DARS team for assistance in getting both courses to count. Instructions are not included in this manual since instructions vary depending on the requirement.

Note: The >L symbol and 0.0 GPA credit next to EDTE 1000 means that credit has been deducted from the course (because it was taken out of sequence or some other limit).

FC 鈥 Force Course to Sub-requirement

The FC 鈥 Force course to subreqt. exception is used to force a course to apply in a specific sub-requirement. This overrides any existing minimum course grade requirements and the normal processing order (the DARS processes courses from top to bottom).

FC 鈥 Steps:

  1. Enter the Term Type: Semester
  2. Select the Exception Code dropdown: FC 鈥 Force course to subreqt.
  3. Enter the Course you鈥檇 like to apply to the sub-requirement: (e.g., MDIA4176)
    1. No spaces should be entered if the course subject is 4 characters. If the course subject is 2 or 3 characters, spaces should be included to ensure 8 characters are entered.
    2. Unlike other exception types, if a course has been renumbered, the original number that the student took must be used.
  4. Find and enter the Pseudo Name: (e.g., MDIAGAMJR6)
  5. Enter the Note for Audit: (maximum 27 characters)
    1. * The Memo is optional but strongly recommended. Indicate who approved and the date of the approval.
  6. Don鈥檛 forget to Save and rerun the audit in the FAC to check your work!
PS 鈥 DARS Exceptions > Course Modification: FC Instructions

In the example below, the college has approved MDIA 4176 to apply to sub-requirement 6 instead of sub-requirement 3. Once a student is active in a course, the DARS will attempt to apply credit from top to bottom. Without the FC exception, MDIA 4176 would only apply to sub-requirement 3 (even if Requirement Modification 鈥 Add course to list exception is used in sub. 6).
