DEV-2117

To allow LDA/Last Participation date from either Canvas or CourseKey to be imported in for Asynchronous courses but leaving the manual attendance functionality active for synchronous courses, a newly created Custom Control LDA_INSTRUCTION_METHODS has been added to include certain course instruction methods to import LDA dates and exclude non-listed instruction methods from the import. An administrator may input multiple instruction method codes in a comma separated format that they wish for the LMS integration to import LDA for. Leaving the control blank will not import LDA dates by default.

Also included in this update, there is an overnight process that will copy the LDA from the Student Attendance Data (ATSENT) to Student Enrollment Data (RGENRL.LAST_ATTEND_DATE) for the courses with the instruction methods defined in the Custom Control; which allows for the attendance being taken in either an asynchronous automatically or synchronous manner manually through the course roster to appear in the student finder and other reports.

Importing of Canvas or CourseKey Participation/attendance grades must be turned on for this to take effect.

Added Permission 1278 when set to NA to prevent a user from entering attendance for students after their enrollments' Last Date Attended. Removing NA will allow a user to enter/change attendance after and LDA is entered or automatically imported from an LMS integration.

    • New Enrollment Intensity “Full Time Term Credit Hours” field has been added to the Major/Program Setup page in order to calculate Pell based on a student’s enrollment. If student is not enrolled, the system interprets the student will be packaged as full time.

      • Example: If Full-Time Term Credit Hours is set to 12 hours and the student is enrolled in 9 hours in the Fall semester, their enrollment intensity will be 75%. If SAI is 0 they will be packaged as $7395 - SAI 0 = $7395 x .75 = $5546 Packaged

    • Default Housing selections have been added to F/A Control to be based off of a student’s residency code in the Session Data Record.

      • Housing options have been removed from the FAFSA, so housing will now be reliant upon a student’s Dependency status and the Session Data Record. If Session Data record doesn’t exist, it will be based on the student’s Dependency status alone. Housing options can be manually adjusted under the ISIR Packaging detail page.
