IN BRIEF
The Duplicate/Conflicting Enrollments window appears when the System detects that a student’s new enrollment conflicts with or duplicates an existing enrollment. This safeguard helps prevent overlapping or duplicate class enrollments and provides options to resolve or proceed with the enrollment.
Overview
The Duplicate/Conflicting Enrollments window is an automatic alert that appears when attempting to enroll a student in a class that conflicts with an existing enrollment or duplicates it.
When triggered, the window displays:
- The student(s) with conflicts
- The existing enrollment details (such as class, dates, and type)
- Options to either resolve the conflict or proceed with selected enrollments
This feature applies to:
- Individual class enrollments
- Group enrollments
Its purpose is to ensure enrollment accuracy and prevent unintended scheduling conflicts.
What Counts as a Conflict or Duplicate?
- Same student enrolled in overlapping class times
- Same student enrolled multiple times in the same class
- Enrollment dates that overlap with an existing ACTIVE enrollment
Accessing the Feature
The Duplicate/Conflicting Enrollments window cannot be accessed directly. It appears automatically during enrollment when a conflict is detected.
To trigger the window:
- From the main navigation menu, go to Classes.
- Begin creating a new enrollment (individual or group).
- Attempt to enroll a student who already has a conflicting or duplicate enrollment.
The System will display the Duplicate/Conflicting Enrollments window before saving.
Step-by-Step Instructions
When the Duplicate/Conflicting Enrollments window appears:
- Review the list of students shown in the window.
- Note that each student with a conflict is automatically selected (checked).
- Review the conflicting enrollment details displayed below each student.
- Choose how to proceed.
Option 1: Continue with the new enrollment
- Select the edit icon next to the conflicting enrollment.
- Make necessary changes:
- Drop the existing enrollment
- Adjust enrollment details
- Select Save within the edit dialog.
- Return to the window and select Save again to retry the new enrollment.
Option 2: Cancel the new enrollment
- Close the window to cancel the new enrollment.
- The existing enrollment remains unchanged.
Option 3 (Group enrollments only): Enroll only selected students
- Uncheck the box next to any student you do not want to enroll.
- Leave checked only the students you want to proceed with.
- Select Save to process enrollments for selected students only.
How the Checkbox Works
- Checked = the System will attempt to process that student’s new enrollment again
- Unchecked = the student will be skipped during the save attempt
Visual Example
The window will include a message such as “Duplicate Enrollments Detected” and lists affected students and classes.
