Use this page to set up rules to specify the sets of courses that should be taken together for a subject area. If a student does not meet the rules you establish here, an alert warning will be created for the student's career plan or graduation requirement subject area when you run the Graduation Requirement Calculation. For an explanation of how tag rules can be used, refer to Overview of Subject Area Tag Rules.
Set up subject area tag rules after you create the subject area tags and associate them with the appropriate courses. The tag rules then express how students should take courses within the course tag groupings in order to fulfill the subject area. You will create a separate tag rule option for each possible way students can meet the credit requirements.
If the buildings in your district are not configured for Career Planner, then the tag rule feature does not apply; the Graduation Requirements calculation will not create alerts. Do not set up tag rules for your graduation requirement groups.
If needed, enter criteria on the search page for a Simple or Advanced Search, and then click Load.
On the Search Results panel, click the requirement group's link for the appropriate graduation year.
Click Edit in the Tag Rules column for the subject area.
To delete a rule, click the (Delete) icon in the column header to select the Delete checkbox for all rows in the rule.
Click Save.

These fields identify the subject area for which you are creating credit rules using course tags. The section's fields are all display-only.
Field
Description
Requirement Group
Graduation or Career Planner requirement group associated with the subject area for which you are establishing course tag credit rules.
Graduation Year
Graduation year for the graduation requirement group. Graduation requirement groups and Career Plans (supplementary groups) are assigned to students based on Requirement Group and Graduation Year from the Student Center's Academic page.
Requirement Code
Subject area for which you are defining or viewing course tag credit rules.

These rules are checked when you run the Graduation Requirement calculation.
Required Credit
Number of credits a student needs to complete to fulfill the subject area. Each rule you define for the tag rule will establish the possible ways the student can earn credit for the subject area, indicating how many credits need to come from courses using a particular course tag.
Tags Panel
These fields give you a quick-reference list of the course tags already set up for this subject area. You will use these tags to set up the credit rules.

Operator indicating how a row of tag rule information relates to the previous one. Select:
And if the student needs to satisfy the credit requirements in both rows, for example 1.0 credit from course tag A1 AND 1.0 credit from course tag B1. Or if the student can satisfy the credit requirement in one row or the other, for example 1.0 credit from course tag A1 OR 1.0 credit from course tag B1. Avoid using both operators within the same tag rule option. In other words, no single rule should have both an And statement and an Or statement.
