Steps to complete the challenge

RIO University recently introduced a new requirement students have to earned at least 10 credits from their program, before they can enroll in AC104.

As the program administrator, you will need to set up the new requirement for AC104, such that only students who have earned at least 10 credits are allowed to enroll.

   Since AC104 is a required unit in the Study Plan ‘C02.09 - RIO Undergraduate Program Plan’, it will not take in the new requirements.
