Only certain courses may be enabled for wait-listing (there is a toggle on the Edit Course Offering page).
By default, only selected courses can be wait-listed. This can be changed using unitime.offering.waitListDefault which defaults to false.
Certain overrides can be disabled for wait-listed courses (using unitime.offering.waitList.prohibitedOverride).
For example, a student should not be allowed to request a class limit override for a course that can be wait-listed.
There is now a different toggle for wait-listing (Wait-List) and for just indicating that a course cannot be substituted (No-Subs).
A student (Course Requests, Scheduling Assistant) can use one or the other, based on the student status.
An advisor (Course Recommendations) can use one or the other, based on the unitime.acr.waitlist setting (defaults to None) or based on the student status.
Student Scheduling Assistant
An additional information about wait-listed courses is displayed, in the Wait-Listed Courses section (shown when at least one course is wait-listed).
As only some course can be wait-listed, the Wait-List checkbox is only available if the first-choice course can be wait-listed.
There is a warning when a wait-listed course overlaps with the rest of the schedule.
Student Scheduling Dashboard
Wait-List and No-Sub toggles are separated, including the Filter / assignment.
A course only shows as wait-listed while the student is allowed to wait-list and the course can be wait-listed.
Show wait-listed courses in the detail of a student, and additional wait-list information (like the wait-listed time stamp, or student's position on the wait-list) on various places of the page.
Various improvements in the filtering for wait-listed courses.
Custom Validation
A custom validation of the wait-listed course requests can be implemented using the WaitListValidationProvider class.
The validation does work similarly to pre-registration, using a test schedule, but doing one course at a time on top of the existing schedule.
It may include max credit overrides.
Process Changes
Re-scheduling is disabled by default (students are not moved around during course unlock).
Can be enabled by setting solver configuration parameter Enrollment.ReSchedulingEnabled to true.
Students wait-listed for a course are processed in the following order:
Course request priority (critical courses) first, student priority second, wait-listed time stamp last.
Students with a pending override, a time conflict, or students over max credit are skipped.
The order can be customized (e.g., only be based on the wait-listed time stamp)
Email notifications added when custom enrollment fails (it is not possible to enroll student because of registration error).
Wait-list toggle is no longer automatically enabled when a student attempts to enroll to a course that is currently locked.
Various improvements across all the wait-listing functionality.
Student Scheduling
Special Registration: Variable Title Workflow
Added an ability to plug-in a variable title course request workflow.
This include a new functionality on the Scheduling Assistant page and an API that can be used to create a variable title course in UniTime.
Course Requests: Requested Credit
Requested credit computation updated to consider students (and optionally) advisor's no-subs/wait-listed courses.
A no-sub/wait-listed course cannot be replaced by a substitute course.
The advisor recommendations are only considered when the solver parameter Load.UseAdvisorWaitLists is set to true.
Details of a student: show student's requested approvals in a new tab when available.
Batch Student Scheduling: Section Times
Added ability to load arranged hours (no time) classes with a time (listing the date pattern but no time) and rooms (that are required by the class).
This allows the effective date pattern and required room to show on arranged hours classes on the solver dashboard.
Can be disabled by setting the solver parameter Load.ArrangedHoursPlacements to false (defaults to true).
Student Scheduling Dashboards: Enrollments
When showing classes of a course, list all classes (but the classes that do not match the filter are grayed out).
It is possible to switch between showing all classes and just the matching classes using the sctdashShowUnmatchedClasses user setting parameter (defaults to yes, show unmatched classes).
Requested credit range (e.g., requested-credit:>=15 for students that requested 15+ credit hours)
First-choice credit range (e.g., first-choice-credit:>=15 for students with their first-choice requested courses of 15 or more credit hours)
Choice / alternativity (e.g., choice:>1 for cases where an alternative course is assigned, or not-assigned primary course request has at least one alternative)
Request Priority (e.g., rp:<=2 for course requests that are of priority 1 or 2)
Online / Face-to-face / Has-Time / No-Time (e.g., face-to-face:<2 for students with less than two face-to-face classes, or online:>50% for students with more than half of their classes online)
Added ability to filter by primary academic area, classification, major, concentration, or program (e.g., primary-area:A)
Student Program
Added ability to include an optional program field on a student, with academic area, major, and classification.
Included in Student XML and Course Requests XML exports and imports.
Student Scheduling Dashboards: Added optional Program column and the ability to filter by program.
Student Campus
Added ability to include an optional program field on a student, with academic area, major, and classification.
Included in Student XML and Course Requests XML exports and imports.
Student Scheduling Dashboards: Added optional Campus column and the ability to filter by program.
Course Finder
Sections that the student cannot be enrolled in are grayed out even when there is space in them.
Hide sections and instructional methods not allowed by the Online-Only filter.
Added a column listing whether the course is wait-listed and/or has some allowed overrides.
Banner XE API
Added ability define whether advisors using the XE API will set or not set the admin flag (systemIn parameter).
Examination Timetabling
Examination PDF Reports
Added new output format options: CSV, XLS, and PDF using a non-monospaced font.
Course Timetabling
Solver: Stop
Added ability to stop the solver after it has finished, while running the when finished actions, including:
solution save (all solvers),
student sectioning (course timetabling solver),
validation (student scheduling solver).
Administration
Roll Forward Session
Roll date pattern preferences (for alternative date patterns) forward.
Corrected rolling forward of learning community reservations (special case of student group reservation).
Added ability to roll forward wait-listing (is an offering wait-listed) and prohibited overrides.
Added Support for JDK 16+
Various dependencies updated to avoid illegal access exceptions.
MemoryCounter updated to avoid illegal access calls (using the Unsafe access instead).
LDAP authentication is disabled by default, to enable add the following line to catalina.properties:
