Overview

This section gives you an overview of the time periods in Paradigm that you need to maintain each time your institution opens/closes the Online Applicant Portal and Student Enrolment online. If any of these time periods are not set properly, some of your Registration, Online Applicant Portal, and Student Portal will not work as intended.

Workflow

Refer to the instructions in Edit Time Period – Edit Configuration Period section on how you can edit the following Time Periods in Paradigm which are related to both the Online Applicant Portal and Student Portal.

• APPLICATION_PERIOD

This is the most important Time Period Configuration for your Online Applicant Portal. This time period defines which period the applicant portal is open to accept applications. The first thing this time period control is the applicant registration screen, see Step 1 – Register Details. Once the time period has passed, the applicant registration screen is locked and no new applicant accounts may be created.

• UNIT_ENROLMENT

It controls the scheduled units the student can enrol in from the Course Plan.

• ENROLMENT_PERIOD

A period that opens or closes the Course Plan to students (opens and closes online enrolments for students).
