Configure these business processes for students who no longer meet the requirements of the courses for which they're registered:

Task	Prerequisites	Use Case
Mass Drop Invalid Student Registrations	Security: Configure the Pre-Requisite Failure Mass Drop Registrations Event business process and security policy in the Student Records functional area. Access the Post-Grading Job task so that Workday calculates the invalid registrations.	Drop students who no longer meet course prerequisites. Example: MATH 101 is a prerequisite for MATH 201. Students currently enrolled in MATH 101 preregister for MATH 201 for the next academic period. If they fail MATH 101, they won't meet the prerequisite for MATH 201.
Mass Drop Registrations for Non-Payment	Security: Configure the Mass Drop Registration for Non-Payment business process and security policy in the Student Records functional area.	Drop students who haven't paid past balances. You can also set up soft drops to address specific circumstances. See Set Up Registration Soft Drops for Past Due Balances.
