Post Enrollment Requirement Checking (PERC)

CPP students may register or waitlist for a class in the upcoming term while the prerequisite class is still “In Progress”.  For example, fall semester registration starts in April, but spring semester grades are assigned more than a month later.  The system allows the students to register for the requisite class while the prerequisite class is still in progress. 

How PERC works:

  • At the end of each term, PERC will run.
    • If the student passes the course, the PERC roster will show the requisite course status as “satisfied”.
    •  If the student withdraws or fails the course, the PERC roster will show the requisite course status as “not satisfied”.
  • Departments will review the PERC rosters to determine whether the students should be dropped or approved. 

PERC Process Schedule:

  • Fall
    • Run several times during the summer: in early August after transfer credits are processed for the transfer students, after summer final grades are posted, and during the fall add/drop period.
  • Spring
    • Run after fall final grades are posted and during the Spring add/drop period.
  • Summer Session and Winter Intersession
    • Run after spring final grades are posted. 

 Review Process:

  •  All sections of the courses in all careers are reviewed to capture students that:
    • dropped the prerequisite class that enabled them to enroll in the requisite class; and
    • received an unsatisfactory grade in the perquisite class.
  • Departments may designate the department coordinators to review the PERC rosters and approve or drop students from the class(es) if the enrollment requirements have not been satisfied. 
  • Enrolled and waitlisted courses are evaluated.
  • All related components of a course including lab, activity, etc. are dropped if the prerequisite is not satisfied.
