Award Rules

You can three Award rule types:

• Programme
• Component
• Component Group
  • I.e. A batch of Components

Select a Programme for an Award to be achieved.

Select a Component for an Award to be achieved.

Multi-select Components that must be completed for an Award to be achieved.
NOTE: the Component Count isn't specific to a Component, but rather the number of Components from a Component Group.

---

Relationships Between Multiple Rule Types

An award can be achieved when one or more rules have been met.

If you have multiple rules set-up, you can create relationships between them that solely consist of:

• AND statements
• OR statements
• AND/OR combination statements
  • These are complex, custom relationships

NOTE:

• Once you select the "Custom" option, you should establish rule relationships using the "Completion Formula" field:

Use parentheses (brackets) within the Completion Formula, where possible.

Modify Award Rules

You can edit existing rules or add new rules, only if the Award has not been issued to a Student.

Issue an Award

Check that the Award Status is "Active". If not, open the Awards tab and change the status.

Navigate to Curriculum Index > Programme, then add the Award/s to propagate to the Enrolments of the Programme.

NOTE: This step is optional. An award can be linked to a Student directly, without being linked to one Programme.

On a Student's Awards tab, click the green "+" button to link an Award.

Select and save one or more Awards.

Student Award Tracking and Completion

The Student Award Status can be automatically updated to "Completed" if the Award has rules attached to it.

Student Awards without rules must be marked, manually.

The progress bar (green) and coloured rule tags indicate the Student's progress in completing rules which earn them an Award. Click the refresh button (orange) to automatically update the Student Award to "Completed".
NOTE: Deactivating a student award (purple) conceals the other action buttons.

If the Award has no rules, update the Student Award, manually.

Edit the Student Award to mark it as "Achieved" and provide the "Achieved Date".
