Business Rules / Processes

1. The lower of two slots is considered the better slot. This is important when a students status changes, for example from progress to degree slot (006-069) to a disabled student slot (004).
2. We do not reassign slots unless there is an emergency. A big emergency.
3. We do not create Registration Records until student progress to degree slotting audits have been run and the course schedule is published.
4. We check if a students record has been changed every night, and slot them accordingly
5. If a students slot is changed manually (by the RN screen for example) it will no longer be updated via the overnight process
