Overview

Enrolling students to scheduled units in bulk is made possible via the search course, upload bulk list, and report builder generation of students list, and using the bulk course edit screen to enrol students into scheduled units. Note that when using this method, all students in the bulk list are being enrolled into the exact same set of scheduled units. If there are multiple cohorts with differing unit selection requirements, then the import wizard will be more efficient, see below IMPORT WIZARD notes.This article offers options for providers seeking to quickly and efficiently enrol entire cohorts of students into units without processing each student record manually. There are multiple options for creating new student unit enrolments in bulk as per the table below:

Recommended use case

Bulk Course Edit screen

When unit selection is common among all students of a single cohort

Import Wizard tool

When performing ad-hoc unit selection among students of a single cohort or to perform enrolment across multiple cohorts

Application Programming Interface (API)

For creating complex system to system integrations with the objective of fully automating the creation of unit enrolment records within Paradigm

Note

IMPORT WIZARD [Processing New Unit Enrolments Notes]

This is recommended for bulk enrolments which requires multiple cohorts with differing unit selection requirements.

If you choose this method, please keep in mind the following:

(tick) In your source data file, you have to make sure that you have something to uniquely identify the (

) and the scheduled unit (e.g. the scheduled unit ID or a sufficient number of the following fields to achieve uniqueness: unit code, start date, delivery method, delivery provider, census date)

(tick) Seek advise from the Silverband Support Team to review the import profile before it is used. This may reduce the chance of an unintended update impacting upon the data quality.
