BE ADVISED: Before a student can be enrolled into a Unit: The unit / subject must have already been created as a Base Unit; The Base Unit must then be scheduled, by creating a scheduled unit record, giving it a specific time period for delivery, a census date, and a venue; WARNING: It is critically important that providers ensure their Scheduled Unit records have been coded without errors BEFORE creating new student Unit Enrolments as part of an upcoming enrolment period; and Once these have been done, the student can now be enrolled in the Scheduled Unit.
