Overview
This section will give you an overview of the time periods in Paradigm that you need to maintain every time you will open the Online Applicant Portal and Student Enrolment online. When these time periods are not set properly, your Registration, Online Applicant Portal, and Student Portal will not work as intended.
Workflow
NOTE
There are three time configurations that will play a big role in using the Online Applicant Portal and Student Portal which are to be maintained every time you open a Course for application/enrolment, see System > Edit Time Period for more information on Time Periods in Paradigm.
1. Refer to the instructions on Edit Time Period – Edit Configuration Periodsection on how you can edit the following Time Periods in Paradigm which are related to the Application and Student Portal.
A. APPLICATION_PERIOD – This is the most important Time Period Configuration for your Online Applicant Portal. This defines when the applicant portal is open to accept applications. The first thing this time period controls is the applicant registration screen, see Step 1 – Register Details. When the time period has passes, the applicant registration screen is locked and no new applicant accounts may be created.
B. UNIT_ENROLMENT – it controls the scheduled units the student can enrol from the Course Plan
C. ENROLMENT_PERIOD – period that opens or closes the Course Plan to students [opens and closes online enrolments for students].
