Manual enrollment allows you to add** current, future, or additional programs** to a student’s record. This is commonly used for mid-year enrollments, future planning, re-enrollment (reenrollment), or assigning add-on programs such as extended care.
Access the Enrollment Management View
To manually enroll a student:
- Go to Students
- Select Directory
- Click on the student you want to enroll
- In the** Overview** tab, scroll to the Program and Classroom section
- Click Manually Enroll
This opens the **Manage Enrollment **window for the selected student.
Understanding the Program & Classroom Section
Within the** Manage Enrollment** window, you can view** all programs associated with the student, **including:
- Past enrollments
- Current enrollments
- Future or scheduled enrollments
- Primary programs
- Add-on programs
This view provides a complete enrollment history and helps prevent duplicate or overlapping enrollments.
Add a Program to a Student
To enroll the student in a new program:
- Click Add Program
- Select the program you want to enroll the student in
(This is why including the school year in program names—e.g., “Toddler Program 25/26”—is strongly recommended.) 3. Select the **start date and end date **for the student’s enrollment
Classroom Assignment (Optional):
- You may assign a classroom at the time of enrollment
- Classroom assignment is** optional**
- If you do not assign a classroom now, you can assign one later without affecting enrollment
This flexibility allows you to enroll students before classroom placements are finalized.
Save Your Changes
After adding the program:
- Scroll to the bottom of the** Manage Enrollment** window
- Click Save Changes
Important:
Enrollment changes are **not saved automatically. If you close the window or navigate away without clicking Save Changes, **all updates will be lost.
Important Note
- Program dates must fall within the program’s configured runtime
- Classroom assignment can be deferred if capacity planning is still in progress
- Avoid overlapping enrollment periods unless intentional
- Always confirm eligibility indicators before saving
