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.

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).
 After clicking the ADD COURSE button, you have the option to check and edit the COURSE DETAILS section, just below the SCHEDULED PROGRAM LIST section (edit fields that are relevant to the enrolled student’s circumstances) and just click the SAVE COURSE ENROLMENT button to apply the changes. back to top |
