Understand the Registration Logic for the Course Registration Service

 Location:  Learning Management/Courses/Content Module -> Services Section/Registration Service

Overview: As part of our advanced course registration features available in the Learning Management System, we offer the ability for students to self-register for courses under the umbrella of broader master course program course. This service then allows you to create programs that have an unlimited number of courses as a part of the program.

The Registration Service manages student registrations, including the monitoring of prerequisites, and equivalent registrations, without needing the student to go through the shopping cart for each registration.

When the student is in the Course in the Content Module that has the Registration Service, they see a list of all the available courses to register for that are set via Related Courses in the Master Course Editor.

The Registration Service presents these courses with the following rules:

• The service looks to the Master Course and gets all its Related Courses,
• The Service then loops through these and checks the following for each:
  • If the student has already registered for one of the related courses:
    • The related course will NOT be shown in the list for registration as there is no need to register again for a course that is already being taken.
  • If the student has NOT yet registered for a related course AND the related courses have prerequisites:
    • The system gets any directly associated prerequisites for the related course. 
    • If any are found, the system checks to see if the student has completed EVERY prerequisite course (or one of their equivalents). 
    • It then presents a list of prerequisite courses that still need to be completed, with instructions that the student must complete ALL of them before registering for the related course.
  • The system also gets any category associated prerequisites for the related course. 
    • If any are found, the system checks to see if the student has completed ANY ONE OF these prerequisite courses (or one of their equivalents). 
    • It presents a separate list of prerequisite courses that still need to be completed, with instructions that the student must complete AT LEAST ONE of them before registering for the related course.
  • If NO prerequisites are found, or all of the founds have been completed, then the student is shown a Register button to immediately click and register for the related course.
