Edit Batch Position - Degrees

Use the Degree Linking Selection page to define the degree requirements for a batch position using a wizard-style workflow. This page allows users to select a degree linking option, then proceed through subsequent steps to enter the specific degree level, subject type, and alternate degree/subject pairings for the position. The linked degree requirements are stored in the batch staging table and are posted to the live position control tables when the batch is posted.

Before linking degrees to positions, ensure the required Prerequisites are met.

1. On the Edit Batch Position page, select Degrees.

2. Select one of the following:

   • General Linking – Links a minimum required degree level and a list of acceptable subject types to the position. For more information, refer to General Degree Linking.

   • Both – Performs both general and degree-specific linking. This is the default. For more information, refer to General Degree Linking and Degree Linking.
