PE Discipline and PE Discipline Requirement
Table of Contents
Overview
The PE Discipline (and PE Discipline Requirements under it) is a record of a student's enrollment to a Program Discipline (i.e. Major/Minor).
They highlight the Courses (and groups) under that Major, as well as the completion and credits earned.
PE Discipline (and the PE Discipline Requirements under it) are generated, when a student enrolls to a Program Discipline.
The Program Discipline and Discipline Requirements which act as the template, are cloned over as PE Discipline and PE Discipline Requirements.
- Program Discipline --> PE Discipline.
- Discipline Requirement --> PE Discipline Requirement.
See here for a use case example.

A formula field on both the PE Discipline Requirement and Course Connection will check for the Course ID. In simpler terms, as long as the Course that is referenced by the PE Discipline Requirement (Course) and the Course Connection is the same, they will be linked. Additionally, if there are multiple Course Connections of the same Course ID, it will go through a priority checking list as below: 1. Attempt Number The above criteria applies when the PE Discipline Requirement record is created after a Course Connection is created. |
