It would be spectacular if, when setting a pre-requisite, we could define which degrees the pre-requisite applies to. I'll share an example of the issue NOT having this feature causes below:
Our Populi Academic structure presently has 3 different degrees underneath our undergraduate program: The Bachelor of Biblical Studies, The Bachelor of Community Development, and the Associate in Biblical Foundations.
Requirements for the Associate degree contain courses shared by the bachelor's degrees. In the course catalog, those courses have prereqs.
Let me give you a theoretical example:
Let's say in the bachelor program a student has to take Intro to Basketweaving, The History of Baskets, and Basket Weaving Blindfolded, and the prereqs are set as such:
Intro to Basketweaving must be taken before The History of Baskets, and The History of Baskets must be taken before Basket Weaving Blindfolded.
Now in the Associates, we want to require Intro to Basketweaving and Basket Weaving Blindfolded, but NOT The History of Baskets.
When a student in the Associate program goes to register let's say he took Intro to Basket Weaving, and his degree requirements require Basket Weaving Blindfolded. He'll see an "unmet prereq" error because of the prereq settings on the courses (since they're the same).
What this practically does is ensures that NO student in the Associate program will ever be able to register without the assistance of staff.
If I could say that the prereqs only apply to the two bachelor degrees, and set separate requirements for the associate degree the world would be a happier place, and the issue I described above would disappear!
