Maintaining future students

Future students are students who have applied to enrol at your organisation.

You can incorporate the student's:

  • personal details, address and contact details entered when they first enquired
  • newly allocated classes and external courses.

Future student records are stored in the community database.

Once you know that the student is enrolled, you can confirm entry dates and enter financial details.



Generally a student is:

  • Added using Enquiry Student Maintenance. See Maintaining enrolment enquiries.
  • Imported through an online program, such as through a page on your organisation's website. See Processing online applications.
  • Maintained in Future Student Maintenance, after their application to enrol at your organisation has been accepted.
