Move Students to New Year
The final step in the new year rollover process is to enroll the returning students in the new year. This process enrolls the student in the new year in the school indicated in the Next School field on the Other Info tab of the Student screen, at the grade level indicated in the Next Grade field. The process may be run multiple times if needed. It does not enroll the student twice in the new year if run twice. The main reasons for using different definitions for this process are:
Enter Codes – if different groups of students require a different enter code when enrolled in the new year. When 6th grade or 8th grade students transfer to their new school, some states require a different enter code than students promoted within the same school. Only one enter code can be specified by school.
Enrollment Properties – if different groups of students require different enrollment properties defined.
Amount of Data – by creating smaller groups of students to process, the log files are smaller and easier to review for errors.
