DRAFT

Acad Career designates how courses are split up on the transcript. When a student gets admitted before they start, everything appears under “Undergraduate.” When a student gets admitted and they have their Bachelor’s, it appears as “Graduate.” Within my.SDSU, there will be a new "Global Campus" career for non-matriculated students who are taking courses in extended education that would not count toward their graduate or undergraduate statistics. This is tied to admission and course type.

Business Rules[edit | edit source]

The Undergraduate Academic Career includes only the first baccalaureate academic program a student pursues at the institution as well as work completed by transitory and non-matriculated students taking courses through Open University program that have not previously earned a baccalaureate degree.

The Post-baccalaureate Academic Career includes any graduate or credential academic work pursued by a student, any second baccalaureate work, as well as work completed by transitory and non-matriculated students taking courses through Open University program that have previously earned a baccalaureate degree.

The Extended Education Academic Career includes students taking English Language courses for language development and students taking courses for non-credit.

Examples[edit | edit source]
