The Unit Enrolment start and end dates should not be changed because this affects enrolment information that is vital to the business operations of the institution. When the scheduled unit start and end dates are not the same as the unit enrolment start and end dates, you can change the start and end dates for the scheduled units as follows:

...

Load the Student record

...

Click the Student option in the menu

...

Click on the Course Enrolment option

...

Click the Units option

...

Put a tick in the select box at the far right end of the row for the unit enrolment

...

...

In the dropdown that shows "Select Action to perform on Units", choose the option "Apply the following start and end date to each of the selected units"

...

Type in the start date and end date for the unit enrolment

...

IMPLICATIONS

Old Scheduled units can change the start and end dates for the scheduled units by following the steps in the Workflow section below.

Class Numbers / Participants 

Current Participants indicates the number of students currently enrolled in the scheduled unit. This will help to support class viability decisions as scheduled units with fewer than the institution-determined enrolment number may not be financially viable and may need to be cancelled.

Maximum Participants indicates the maximum number of students to be enrolled into this scheduled unit. Once this number has been reached students will not be able to be added to this schedule via the Course plan enrolment method. This number can be increased once the maximum has been reached within the edit Schedule unit page. Once the number has been increased students will again be able to enrol in this schedule unit via the Course Plan.

A report can be created within the report builder and added to required staff dashboards to provide data on class numbers for any given study period. This can provide data on class sizes / viability in one easy to read report.

Implications

• Always ensure that dates are entered correctly as incorrect information can have a

...

• flow-on effect for reporting periods.

• A Census

...

• Date must always fall between the start date and end date of the unit and NO LESS than 20% of the way through the entire delivery period of the unit.

• Previous Scheduled units Units should not be updated and reused as a new unit. This will affect any historical student data. Scheduled Units should be either rescheduled or a new Schedule Scheduled Unit created. 

• Fee alterations will not update any students already enrolled into the unit.

• HEIMS Census dates are required to be no less that 20% of the way through the unit.

Class numbers / Participants 

Current Participants indicates the number of students currently enrolled in the scheduled unit. This will aide in class viability decisions as schedules under (an institution determined) enrolment number may not be financially viable and may need to be cancelled.

Maximum Participants indicates the maximum number of students to be enrolled into this scheduled unit. Once this number has been reached students will not be able to be added to this schedule via the Course plan enrolment method. This number can be increased once the maximum has been reached within the edit Schedule unit page. Once the number has been increased student will again be able to enrol in this schedule via the Course Plan.

A report can be created within the report builder and added to required staff dashboards to provide data on class numbers for any given study period. This can provide data on class sizes / viability in one easy to read report.
