Enforce Prerequisites

Prerequisites can be enforced when clients register via the WebReg module.

Applies To:    Enterprise    Plus

Course Prerequisites are created at Main Menu > Courses > Prerequisites.

To Enforce Prerequisites, go to Admin/Security > Settings > Web Options > Registration. 

Go to the [Enforce Prerequisite] field.

• If set to No, all prerequisites are ignored and do not display.
• If set to Yes, when a Client adds a course to their cart, and the course has one or prerequisite courses, and the client has not successfully taken the course, the Assignment cannot be purchased.  The client must remove the course from the cart to continue.  A successful course is one with an Enrollment Status = "Enrolled/Active" or "Completed-Satisfactory".
• If set to Yes, course prerequisites display on the Course Display page with links to the course search page so that the client can purchase the prerequisite course instead.  If not available, the client receives a prompt that the course is not available.
• Note that this setting only controls the WebReg module, not the Admin module.
• For organizations where each program year is in a separate database, the check to see if the client has successfully taken a prerequisite only takes place in the same program year database, not across years.
• This feature is available in Plus and Enterprise versions.
