Student Online Registration

Check and Register Families

You receive an email when families submit registration forms. You can then view the information they submitted, add new families and students, and update existing records.

  1. On the Information tab, click Students > Processes then, on the Formation Processes tab, click Register Families and Enroll Students Online.
  2. Select Check and Register Families with Students, and click Next.
  3. Select whether to filter your list of forms by new forms only, all forms, or all forms within a certain date range.
    Note: All family registration forms display in the list, including those from web forms and email forms.
  4. If you have a large number of forms to process, the program processes batches of 25 forms at a time. Otherwise, you can select the families you want to create or update records for.
  5. If you're looking for a particular form, click Search Forms and enter or select the family name. If the family submitted multiple forms, each one displays with the date and time.
  6. If you no longer need a family's registration, select Delete Form to delete it from the web server.
  7. Review the family and student information, and make any necessary changes.
  8. To match this family's information with an existing family record, click Find a Family and select the family. You can then select which data to use. Differences show in blue text, and they change to green text once you've made a selection.
  9. To match a family member's information with an existing member record, click Find a Member and select the member. If a previous match was made, you're prompted to clear it first. Select the member, then select which data to use.
  10. When you're ready to process the registrations, click Next.
  11. To post the information, click Finish.

The date a registration form was submitted is recorded as the student's enrollment date in the Enrollment/Perm. Rec. window, along with the enrollment year and grade.

If you have a large number of forms, you can process the next batch(es) until all forms are processed. Or, you can exit the process and register the remaining forms later.
