Online Registration can be integrated into your student registration procedures to streamline the process, reduce paperwork, and reduce data entry. You can use online registration in a current year or in a future year. If preparing to use online registration for a future year, you’ll first need to create the academic year and calendar. Additionally, if parents of existing students will be using online registration, you’ll also need to promote current year students to the future year. To learn more about the academic year rollover process, read here.
After creating the academic year, you will configure your online registration options. Online Registration options are focused on New Student/New Family Registration. New Student/New Family Registration streamlines getting new students added to your enrollment. This feature covers the following two scenarios:
- Parents of existing students can add new students to the enrollment
- New families, who don’t currently have students at the school or in the district, can request to enroll new students to the school.
The feature is disabled by default and can be enabled or disabled anytime during online registration. Therefore, you can allow new student/new family registration for the entire length of time that registration is open, enable it for a period of time and then disable it, or vice versa.
