Definitions
Force Complete- Forces a requirement to be met when there is no substitution.
Substitution- Used to substitute one course for another. Substitution can be applied before of after an alternate course is taken.
Also Allow- Used when you wish to expand the course options available for a specific requirement. In many instances, this is a better option than using the Substitute exception. Also allow can be applied before or after the alternate course is taken.
Apply Here- Used when you need to move a course from one place in an audit to another. Apply here can be used before or after the alternate course is taken.
