DFNP Attribute Timing

Info on the DFNP Exemption Note Types and how they must be applied between reg start and term start.

• The note date must fall between:
  • ✅ Term Registration Begin Date
  • ✅ Term Start Date

👉 If the note falls outside that window:

• It will NOT exempt the student from DFNP

🧠 Why That Timing Matters (Operational Reality)

This timing aligns to how DFNP runs behave:

• DFNP identifies students after registration begins
• Exemptions must exist before drop processing evaluates eligibility
• Once the term starts, exemption logic typically locks in (or shifts to different rules)

👉 Translation: You’re essentially racing the DFNP batch job clock.

• The system evaluates the actual note date, not your intent
