This report should be run after early registration periods and again after grades have been posted for a semester to determine if students are registered or waitlisted in an upcoming course without meeting the prerequisite(s).

(**Caution: Do not run this report during the grade submission period**).

1.      In the Direct Access field, type SZRPREQ, then press <Enter>.

2.      When the Process Submission Control Form opens, press <Ctrl>+<Page Down> so that your cursor is positioned in the Printer: field.

3.      Type the printer name or double-click in the Printer: field and select a printer from the list, then press <Ctrl>+<Page Down>.

4.      Press tab to get to the Values: field.  Enter the parameter values as shown below

        Term         Enter the code for the term (i.e. 200410 for Fall 2003), then press <Down-Arrow> key.

        Subject      Enter the code for the course subject (i.e. CSC)

(If you wish to check more than one subject at a time, after entering the first Subject,  press <F6> to insert a record, <F4> to duplicate the record, tab to place your cursor in the Subject values field, and then type over the code with the next subject code.  Repeat this process until all desired subjects are added.)

5.      When finished adjusting the parameters, press <Ctrl>+<Page Down>
Your screen should look similar to this:

6.      Click the Save icon on your toolbar.  You should see a message in the gray status bar at the bottom of the window that lists the job number.  This will indicate that your job was submitted and is running.

7.      Click the Exit icon to close the form and return to the Banner menu.  Your report should print to the selected printer when completed (it may take 20-30 minutes to run).

The report will list the course section and then each student (id, name, course registration status) who does not meet the required prerequisites.  After the student name, the prerequisites are listed line by line with a “met” or “not met” indicator.  You should review the report to determine if a student should be allowed to remain registered or waitlisted for the course. 

¨      If you choose to allow the student to remain in the course, you must issue a PREREQ override for that student.  If you do not issue this override, the next time the student adjusts his/her schedule the course will be automatically dropped.

¨      If you want the student removed from the course, you must notify the Registrar’s Office in writing or by email.  A notice will be mailed to the student that they have been dropped due to unmet prerequisites.  Students may be administratively dropped only until the add deadline in a term. 

Troubleshooting Tips

If you do not have access to the SZRPREQ form in Banner, then contact bannerids@list.flint.umich.edu stating you do not have access to this form.

Not all departments have a printer designated as a “Banner” printer.  If you do not have a “Banner” printer, then you should pick a nearby printer.
