Albany Diocese Schools: Enroll a new Student

How to Enroll a Student

When PowerSchool is set up at your school, the data for most students is imported from your previous system. However, there will always be students who must be enrolled individually because they are new to your school. If you have the proper permissions, enroll an individual student in your school.

On the start page, choose Special Functions from the main menu.
On the Special Functions page, click Enroll New Student. The Enroll New Student page appears.
Use the following table to enter information in the fields:

Field	Description
Student Name	Enter the student name (last, first, middle initial).
Student Number	Enter the student number. If you leave this blank, PowerSchool will assign one to the student.
Social Security Number	Enter the student Social Security number.
Phone Number	Enter the student's phone number.
Enrollment Date	If it is not the date displayed, enter the student enrollment date using the format mm/dd/yyyy or mm-dd-yyyy. If you do not use this format, an alert appears. If you submit the date with an incorrect format, the date field will be submitted as a blank entry.
Grade Level	Choose the grade level the student will be in when he or she enters your school from the pop-up menu.
Entry Code	Choose the reason the student is entering your school from the pop-up menu.
Fee Exemption Status	School and course enrollment fees are automatically assigned to students when they enroll in school or in a course. Students can be exempted individually from having these fees assigned to them automatically by using the Fee Exemption Status pop-up menu. While you can indicate to the system that school and/or course enrollment fees are not be be assigned, this does not prohibit fees being assigned manually. Choose the student's fee exemption status the pop-up menu in the School Fee Information section: Student not Exempted Student Exempted from Course Fees Student Exempted from School Fees Student Exempted from All Fees Note: For information on exempting a group of students, see the section School Information.

Click Submit. If there are no records matching that of the new student, the Schedule page appears; you can then add classes to the student schedule. For more information, see the section Add Sections. If there are similar records to the one you created, the Check for Duplicate Students page asks you to check for duplicate records.

Reenroll that student at your school if he or she is already entered in the system. For more information on reenrollment, see the section How to Reenroll in School. If the student is not yet enrolled at your school, click Enroll. The page appears to let you add classes to the student's schedule. For more information, see the section Add Sections.
