Overview

This page provides guidance to help users determine whether a program change (PC) should be processed as "Substantially Equal (SE)" or "Not Substantially Equal (NSE)" in Regent. The information is a supplement to the Program Change Guidance for SBL data.

The main thing to keep in mind is a Substantially Equal program change (SE PC) within an Academic Year (AY) will keep the student in the same AY as before the program change. The student continues the same AY in the new program. A program change that is Not Substantially Equal (NSE PC) will always start a new AY for the new program.

Notes:

Some schools may have additional policies regarding whether to process some program changes as NSE. Always refer to your school's internal policies.
An end user should never override a program change across different program structures (which is always NSE) to try to change it to an SE program change. The resulting academic plan structure would be unpredictable and Regent Award does not support this action.
