Frequently Asked Questions
- CAPS+ does not currently support the selection of multiple specializations within the same major.
- Degree programs with variable credit courses (i.e. Music) may skew the initial course schedule. Students must work with their advisors to manually edit their schedule.
- The CAPS+ schedule for unstructured degree programs may differ from the sponsoring department’s four-year plan. This is because many courses within these programs do not require pre-requisites. As a result, CAPS+ places them in the most logical order.
- If a course requires a certain grade was achieved in its pre-requisite (i.e. ENG102), CAPS+ assumes that the student earned the needed grade. However, CAPS+ will then disregard any additional pre-requisite and may place the course in the same quarter as the post-requisite. Workaround: Student can work with advisor to move the course to another quarter on the calendar page.
- If general education courses don’t satisfy a requirement line users need to make sure they are not breaking the various rules for general education courses (See “Breadth Requirements”).
- CAPS+ often places Capstone and Seminar courses as soon as the student has reached the eligible class standing. Workaround: Student can work with advisor to move the course to another quarter on the calendar page.
- As true of all PeopleSoft applications, if a user clicks another page while the initial page is loading, CAPS+ may become unresponsive. Workaround: Patience may be required while a page is loading.
- Due to system logic, if the student has not completed the necessary milestone CAPS+ may not place course sequences that require math pre-requisites in consecutive order (i.e. CHEM 181/182/183).
