Rules Based on Residency Calculations
A change was made to the way error rules, Error Rules based on the Residency Calculation, Calculations are run in the Standard Application. Colleges were not able to trigger an Ineligibility rule We found that colleges were unable to get a rule based on the Ineligibility flag - which is calculated by the Residency Calculation - to trigger; however, though they were able to get trigger an email message to successfully send based on the same logic. Development Development researched this issue and confirmed that the Residency Calculation was being run during the submission process, process after the college rules were run. With this change, college pre-submission rules will now run To fix the issue we will now run the college submission rules after all other logic calculations are performed, allowing colleges completed, ensuring the college rules are triggered in time to validate against accurate, residency-based data.
Note: This issue does not pertain to the BOG or International Application rules as these applications do not include residency algorithm.
