FAQ: Student Registrations

FAQ: Student Registrations

Can I specify an alternative registration processing date for a student?
When managing student registrations, you can specify an alternative
Registered Date
 or
Unregistered Date
 that's within applicable date controls.
Example: A student misses registration due to a family emergency and returns after the enrollment period is over. You can backdate the registration to reduce the impact on the student.
You can't modify the
Registered Date
 when registering students from a waitlist.
How can I cancel course sections with enrollments?
