Enrollment records can be manually added to the Enrollment screen, though usually students are enrolled using Add a Student in the current or next school year when the student is enrolled in a new school. The ability to add enrollment records is controlled by the "Create" permission for Enrollment student fields in Users > Profiles.
When an enrollment record is manually added, the student's Calendar is not assigned. This method of enrolling a student should not be used at the school level.

In some cases, a student will be attending two schools at the same time during the same school year. For example, a student enrolled in a high school as their primary school might also be enrolled in a post-secondary school as their secondary school. Focus has a Second School feature that allows the two schools to view the student's schedule and grades from both schools. The student's primary school will complete the following process. The ability to add enrollment records is controlled by the "Create" permission for Enrollment student fields in Users > Profiles.
A student can also be co-enrolled on the Add a Student screen by selecting the Second School option.

The ability to delete enrollment records is controlled by the "Delete" permission for Enrollment student fields in Users > Profiles. The profile permissions "Edit Previous Year Enrollment" and "Edit Previous Year Enrollment Other Schools" are also considered for previous year enrollment records.
You should never delete an enrollment record if it is the only enrollment record a student has. Students with no enrollment records cannot be found when searching for the student, even if "Include Inactive Students" is selected. Those students can only be found on the Add a Student screen.
When the system preference "Prevent all enrollments from being deleted" is enabled in the Enrollment tab of System Preferences, users will be prevented from deleting a student's only enrollment record. When attempting to delete the record, the user will be presented with a validation error of "Single Enrollment” in the Errors list. When hovering the mouse over the error, the tool-tip will display the message "If a student has only 1 enrollment record, it cannot be deleted."

When a student is withdrawn from a school, the student's status becomes inactive in the district's database. The proper way to withdraw a student is from the student's enrollment record. The withdrawal process will not delete the student's record.
It is important that the drop date is different from the enrollment date. The drop date is when the student becomes inactive in the system. The drop date is inclusive, so the student will stay active through the drop date listed. If School A withdraws the student on Wednesday, School B will not be able to enroll the student until Thursday. If School B must enroll the student on Wednesday then School A can backdate the drop date to Tuesday, but this is not recommended by Focus because the records will be inaccurate. When selecting the DNE drop code, the drop date is the same as the enrollment date.
