NOTE:

DATA Accuracy and Reporting

Clean, up-to-date, and accurate data makes reporting to interested parties easier. It can be very time consuming trying to report data that is not accurate or complete. Errors can accumulate, making it almost impossible to provide the required data. Please ensure that when entering data into the system, it is entered in a clean, accurate and timely manner.

...

This field is applicable if you want to record commission in the system, given that you already have Agents'records in Paradigm. If all are set already, just type the name of the agent and it will prefill the rest of the name based on the initial letters of the agent’s name that you typed in the field (the agent’s name that you want to associate for this course enrolment).

Quick and easy way to add a Course Enrolment. Depending on how your Paradigm is configured, refer to the instructions below whichever section is applicable.

SCHEDULED PROGRAM LIST (newest version) Form section.

In the updated version of Paradigm, this section is now changed to SCHEDULED PROGRAM LIST where all the course(s) being offered or scheduled are listed with an ADD COURSE button for each row.

NOTE

  • Creating a course enrolment record via this section (SCHEDULED PROGRAM LIST) will result in a course enrolment record that inherits the fields defined on the scheduled program (as created under Course > Course Offers > Add New Course Offer).

  • It is very important that you check and verify the fields under the COURSE DETAILS section, edit or update the required fields which are true to the student’s circumstances, and save the course enrolment to apply the changes.

  • Once this course enrolment has been created, any further changes to the scheduled program will NOT be reflected, or in any way change the values of the course enrolment record that you just added. The changes made to the scheduled program will only reflect to new enrolments (enrolments after the changes to the scheduled program record has been made).
