Overview

Online Class Enrolment

Student online self-enrolment for classes is a process in which students register themselves for specific classes or sessions using an education providers online system. This system enables students to view the available classes or sessions, enrol in them, and hence manage their class schedules online.

Student online self-enrolment for classes offers several advantages to students and education providers. It simplifies the enrolment process, eliminates paperwork, reduces administrative workload, and improves accuracy. Students can enrol in classes at their convenience and education providers can manage enrolment efficiently, reduce costs, and provide a better student experience.

Meshed Platform

The Meshed Platform has a set of features and functions that support Online Class Enrolment for Students. This allows Students to enrol themselves using the Student Portal, or Staff to enrol Students from the Student Profile, into Course Subjects with timetabled classes during a defined enrolment period. Subject enrolment minimum and maximum numbers can also be defined for the Online Class Enrolment.

Class Enrolment Logic

Overlapping Classes

The default system logic is to prevent students from enroling in overlapping classes. When a student selects one class, if any overlapping class exists, the system will disable those classes so the student will not be able to select the overlapping classes.

Minimum Subject count

The system logic enables the Enrol Now button after the number of selected subjects is equal to or greater than the minimum required (as specified in Activation).

Maximum Subject Count

The system logic disables the subject checkboxes when the number of selected subjects is equal to the maximum required (as specified in Activation).

Subject Prerequisites

If a Subject has a prerequisite and student has not completed the prerequisite subject then the system logic will display subject for enrolment. Note that if the Student has been enrolled into the prerequisite subject (but not completed it), the system logic considers the prerequisite subject as having completed.

Any Enrolment shown in the grid can be deleted using the Delete Enrolment Action Icon.

The enrolment information, with the Batch (Class) information, can be viewed in the Student Subject Enrolment Page (set-up Study Plan) in the Student Profile (Student Profile Summary > Result).
