Version 1.0 Document Generation Date 2/21/2008 Date Modified 2/21/2008 Last Changed by ASDS Status Draft Creating PINs in Batch-021508 Concept At some Institutions, students must have a special PIN validated before they are allowed to enroll in classes through self service. Each Institution can choose to use the PIN process or not, and if it is used, can select which programs or admit types of students are required to use PINs. If PINS are used, student records staff determine which students are excluded from the PIN requirement, and then run a batch job to generate the PINs. This batch process must be run each term. Each student who has not been excluded is assigned a randomly generated number - the PIN. When a student sees his/her advisor, the advisor can either validate the PIN immediately, or give the student the PIN to enter manually during self-service enrollment. This topic demonstrates how to set up student exclusions and run the batch PIN process. Last changed on: 2/21/2008 12:05 PM Page 1

9. On the PIN Validation Exclusion page, you specify a Term. The Term acts as an effective date. If you already have PIN exclusions set up for a prior term and you don't want to change the set up, you don't have to enter the exclusions again for the new term. The old set up remains in effect. If necessary click the Add a Row button to add a new row to set up the new term. 10. Enter the desired information into the Begin Term field. 11. You can enter a list of Programs and Plans to exclude all students at your Institution active in those programs and plans. If you leave the Plan field blank for a program, it excludes all students in the program regardless of plan. You can also exclude students who have certain Admit Types. The exclusions are cumulative - that is, the criteria are ORed. A student who meets any one of the criteria is excluded. Page 6 Last changed on: 2/21/2008 12:05 PM
