Set Up Registration Appointments

Set Up Registration Appointments

  • Configure these date controls for the academic period on the
    Maintain Academic Period Date Controls
    task:
    • Enrollment Window Start.
    • Enrollment Window End.
  • Security: These domains in the Student Records functional area:
    • Self-Service: Registration
      .
    • Set Up: Access to Registration
      .
During the enrollment window of each academic period, you can configure when different groups of students can register for courses. Setting up registration appointments enable you to provide priority registration to certain groups of students. Example: You grant the earliest registration appointments to fourth year students, helping them enroll in the last courses that they still need for graduation.
For optimum performance, Workday restricts appointments to 3,000 students within a 15-minute period.
  1. Access the
    Maintain Academic Period Registration Appointments
    task.
  2. As you complete the task, consider:
    Option Description
    Roll Over Registration Appointments From
    (Optional) Select the academic period or program of study from which you want to roll over registration appointments. Workday rolls over the exact registration appointments from the selected academic period or program of study. You can't roll over registration appointments for academic periods or programs of study that have been configured previously, even if they no longer contain appointments.
    Restrict by Enrollment Access Policy
    When selected, students have access to only the courses defined by their enrollment access policy. This option is useful for students with multiple academic records.
    Example: Aaron Day is enrolled in both the Economics Major undergraduate and MBA graduate programs. You configure these registration appointments:
    • Economics Major undergraduate program students register on Monday.
    • MBA graduate program students register on Wednesday.
    When you select the
    Restrict by Enrollment Access Policy
    check box for the Economics Major undergraduate program, Aaron can only register for undergraduate courses on Monday. On Wednesday, Aaron can register for both undergraduate and graduate courses.
    Eligibility Rule
    The eligibility rule that you select determines the students who can register during an appointment. When students meet more than 1 eligibility criteria, Workday assigns the earliest appointment to them.
    Student Cohort eligibility rules apply to students who are members of the cohort as of the standard start date of the academic period.
    To use a condition rule as an eligibility rule, select
    Academic Record
    for
    Business Object
    on the
    Create Student Condition Rule
    task.
    Student Overflow
    When this value is more than 3,000, you can't configure the
    Open Enrollment Start
    date control on the
    Maintain Academic Period Date Controls
    task.
Students can view their current and future registration appointments on the:
  • Academic plan.
  • View My Registration Appointments
    report.
  • Preview card that they access from the related actions menu of the course.
