This knowledge base article outlines how the system supports students to amend their session enrolments after they have already been enrolled in their units during a given semester and they now wish to change their session preferences. The details that can be changed on the screen will be different depending on whether the user has the Student permission level or the Fulladmin permission level. Both scenarios will be described here.This screen (student_units_sessions.php) allows students to amend their session enrolment directly. As an administrator, there are settings and configurations that need to be maintained to ensure that the student can only edit sessions as intended.

Workflow

NOTE:

The instructions below assume that you have already configured the correct Session page Time Periods and the students are already enrolled on the units.

1. For admin users, load the student and the course enrolment record where you want to edit the sessions, while for students, log in to your account and load the Summary screen, see above notes.

2. Navigate to Student > Sessions menus for Student Access level or Student > Course Enrolment > Sessions menus for Admin users of the system.

3. For students with two or more course enrolment records in the system, go to the COURSE ENROLMENTS section and select the required course, else, proceed to the next step.

...

4. With the Course Enrolment record loaded, navigating to the Sessions page will display all the unit enrolments and sessions. Edit the preferred sessions per unit enrolment.

...

5. After selecting the preferred session, click the ENROL INTO SELECTED SESSIONS button. A success message will appear and the student is now enrolled on those selected sessions. Note the status will now be set as Enrolled on those sessions that you just enrolled into.

...

6. Repeat steps 4-5 to edit the preferred session on other enrolled scheduled units.
