[ARCHIVED] ISSUE: Enrollment did not pass validation - Course is not a valid course

[crodgers]

For our latest SIS Import this morning we received 203 warnings of an error message that I'm completely stumped on.

enrollments.csv - An enrollment did not pass validation (course: 2207_SDCCD_ARTF_100_SEC3014, section: , user: 0005497476, role: student, error: An enrollment did not pass validation (course: 2207_SDCCD_ARTF_100_SEC3014, section: , Course is not a valid course)

Can anyone possibly explain to me what this error message is?  I've looked over both the courses.csv file as the enrollments.csv file and I don't see anything wrong with either file.

I have this same issues only 20,000 times.  😞

I'm having the same issue. Hopefully we can get a response here faster than what I get from support.

Try re-encoding the file use something like sublime text editor and click file save with encoding  UTF-8.

If the file was opened with excel or something sometime else theres a good chance it add extra random characters.

was there ever an official response on this? I am incurring this issue with only one course, but none of my imported files to create had any issues with it. I cannot manually create a course as it says the SIS ID is in use, but I cannot actually pull up the course or enroll students in it.

I'm having the same issue with one of my courses on the import.

The actual issue related to a scheduling error in PeopleSoft. Once the error was corrected the "Not valid course" error message went away.

This might be a solution...

I was having the same problem about my courses being invalid. I suspected that the course_id was in use even if it did not appear in the list. So, I used the change_sis_id.csv feature to rename the invisible courses. My csv looked like this:

old_id	new_id	type
1081	1081delete	course
1082	1082delete	course
1124	1124delete	course
1149	1149delete	course
1142	1142delete	course
1048	1048delete	course
1138	1138delete	course
1065	1065delete	course
1044	1044delete	course

Then, I reran the courses.csv file and the enrollment.csv file (where the errors occurred).

To my surprise, the error did not happen and the enrollments went through fine.
