Future enrolments may be entered for any number of applicants, for any entry school grades, and for any enrolment year into the future.
Initially, enrolment applicants are entered into a computer with a “low grade” status (placement code) ‑ e.g. “application to be sent”, or “On Waiting List”, etc.
As time progresses, Application Fees (and possibly Enrollment Fees) will be collected, and the details recorded on the Enrollment Applicant's screen. The placement code will also be changed - eg to 'Offered a Place' or 'Not Offered a Place'. Interviews and exams may be conducted. Results of these events may also be recorded on the applicant's screen.
As much information as possible should be gathered about the applicant, and be recorded on these screens. Data recorded here 'rolls over' into the Student and Parent modules, if the applicant is 'Offered a Place'. Since this 'roll over' is automatic, it is more beneficial to gather and store the data during the pre-Enrollment stage, than to search for and enter details at the busy start of school year stage.
