Student Affiliations Lifecycle
The state transition diagram shown above shows what all states a UF and UF Online Student goes through right from becoming a Pre-Applicant to an Alumni. The ovals represent the student affiliations and the transactions are shown by the arrows. The events leading to the transactions are mentioned near all the arrows. The terminal state means the end of the state diagram or the life-cycle of a student.
Explanation of the transitions that take place for a traditional UF Student:
When a candidate starts the application process for admission into the University, he is in the state of a Pre-Applicant(211). If he completes the application process, he proceeds to the state of Applicant(190), otherwise, he comes to a terminal state. All the applicants who are offered admission come to a state of Newly Admitted Applicants(224). If they are rejected admittance, then they come to the terminal state.
Newly Admitted Applicant then becomes a Non-Registered(216) student. If he then registers for college credit courses, he becomes a Student(191). A student can go back to being a non-registered student if there is no active registration for him. If a non-registered student is not currently enrolled in any course but was enrolled in last 2 to 5 terms then he is in the state of a Recent Attendee(222). A recent attendee becomes a Former Student(215) if he is not enrolled for more than 5 terms.
A student can be a DCE Student(214) and an Innovation Academy Student(253) at the same time. As a student, he may or may not enroll for a continuing course or for the Innovation Academy Program. If a DCE Student is not taking any continuing courses then he becomes a Former DCE Student(238).
Similarly, a Former Student(215) can have a Former Student Subscription(249) affiliation if he chooses to get the subscription for GLID. This subscription can be renewed after 1 year.
