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.

To unload a record in the system

You can either do any of the two options (via Student > Search or Student > Search Course) above to unload the currently selected student. Once you’ve started searching for a student record either by Number, Name, or Course, the currently selected student will automatically be unloaded from the system.

The best way to check if there is a student currently loaded in the system is above the Dashboard menu.

Another way to check, for FULLADMIN users, is when the Show Classic Records Loaded button at the top right corner of the page is selected – a student summary/detail will appear at the top of the page of the currently loaded student record. This section will disappear every time you click the Student > Search or Search Course menus [meaning the student has been unloaded].

Warning

WARNING:

Paradigm will block the creation of a new Unit Enrolment where the Base Course has been reported via TCSI and one or more TCSI fields on the Scheduled Unit are blank. A suitable error message will be shown to the user.

After loading the student’s record, choose the Student > Course Enrolment > Course > Add Courses menus on the side.

Enrolling students within Paradigm can be done via the following sections:

QUICK ADD STUDENT COURSE section - adding a course enrolment in the fastest way possible by selecting just the Course Name
ADD STUDENT COURSE ENROLMENTS section- enrolling students this way will let you choose multiple courses with the same initial default values on Start and Expected End Dates, Enrolment Status, Home Institution, Contact Mode, Full/Part Time, Funding Type, and Fee Type. If the Courses are paid not by units, you can also set the Fee Amount, Course Length in weeks, and the First Fee Payment Amount received from the student.
TRANSFER STUDENT COURSE section - For cases where students are transferring to another course, thus, new course enrolment is required. Check the implications before you use this option here.
SCHEDULED PROGRAM LIST section - If you are using Scheduled Programs, you can use this section to enrol students into courses. This section is designed so you can link a course to scheduled units and enrol students with one click, see Scheduled Program - Scheduled Units.

Tip

The Course Enrolment details have been saved for this student and should now appear in the COURSE ENROLMENT LIST section near the top of the page.

You can either click on the Edit Details option in the side menu, or move down the page to the COURSE DETAILS section, to complete all further details which are required for government reporting.

SCHEDULED PROGRAM LIST 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.

This section has now an option to enrol on a Scheduled Program and its linked Scheduled Units, see Scheduled Program - Scheduled Units.

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).
