Enrollment Codes

Updated on

Focus enables districts to tailor Enrollment Codes to their individual needs. As a district, you will need to use state codes; however, other custom Enrollment Codes can be created for your district's or schools’ specific needs.

In the Re-enrollment Restriction Reasons tab, you can set up re-enrollment and withdrawal restriction reasons. When a user enters a record for a student in the Re-enrollment Restrictions category in Student Info, they can select a restriction reason. The reason message will display when a user attempts to re-enroll or withdraw a student.

In the Application Statuses tab, you can set up status options for online applications. These are used in the Unprocessed Applications tab of the Online Enrollments screen.

In Users > Profiles, there are separate View and Edit permissions for the Enrollment Codes, Re-enrollment Restriction Reasons, and Application Statuses tabs.
