Adding a New Student


Step 1: To add a new student, navigate to the "Students" section from the main menu.

Step 2: Select the option to "Add New Student" from the available actions.

Step 3: Enter the required information for the new student, such as their first and last name. Providing the student's email address is optional, but without it, the student will not be able to log into the system.

Step 4: If applicable, select the "New Applicant" checkbox to assign the student to the "New Applicant" user group.

  • For regular students, leave this option unchecked.
  • The "New Applicant" user group allows customization for new applicants to access and fill out application-related data while restricting access to other areas.

Step 5: Select the appropriate track or program that you want to enroll the student in.

Step 6: Choose an enrollment option from the available selections in the "Enrollment" field.

  • The "Enrollment" field options can be customized based on your institution's needs.
  • Common enrollment options may include Alumni, New Applicant, and Enrolled.

Step 7: Select the relevant semesters or academic terms that you want to register the student for.

Step 8: Once all the necessary information is provided, select "Create" to save the new student record.

Step 9: Additional menus and sections related to the student will now be accessible. Many of these areas can be customized to suit your institution's requirements.

The current page displayed is the student's general information page. Note that certain fields like "Tracks", "Enrollment", and "Semesters" may be moved to a different section, such as the student's "Program" page, after the initial creation.

Step 10: Proceed to enroll the student in classes or courses.

  • Enrollment can be done either from the class/course itself by adding one or more students.
  • Alternatively, you can enroll the student in multiple classes/courses from their individual profile.

Step 11: Navigate back to the main student list page as needed.

  • If you cannot locate a particular student, review and adjust the available filters accordingly.
  • Export the list of students to a file by selecting the "Export" option.
  • Communicate with one or more students by selecting them and choosing the "Email" action.


Finding a Missing Student

If you cannot find a specific student in the list, check and modify the applied filters as necessary.

  • Review the filter settings for criteria like academic years, enrollment status, or any other relevant parameters that may be limiting the displayed results.
  • Adjust the filters to show the desired subset of students, including the one you are trying to locate.
