Pre-Admit BOSS Demonstration Video

The Pre-Admit/Full-Admit functionality in BOSS allows departments that have admission requirements to approve declarations of the major from students who have not met those requirements, while keeping a record in Banner that distinguishes between majors who have met requirements and majors who have not met requirements.

This training video assumes that the user already understands the basic declaration of major/minor process, which remains unchanged, and is familiar with the declaration of major/minor user screen.

Individual Degree Adjustment (IDA) Training

IDA is an online process for requesting adjustments to an individual student’s degree plan. Once requested adjustments are processed by the Office of Records, the degree audit report for the student (the “CAPP report” or “Detailed Evaluation Report”) will reflect the changes. Requests submitted via the online IDA process will also serve as the official record of all degree adjustments for purposes of final graduation check out. The Excel form for requesting degree audit adjustments and the paper Special Exception Form will be eliminated.

This training video covers all aspects of the IDA process and can be viewed in its entirety or in parts. The main menu includes many options:
