How to Add a New Student Enrolment
Overview
Adding a new student enrolment via the Admin Portal is a fundamental process in the SMS that ensures accurate record-keeping and efficient course management. This feature allows administrators to enrol students in specific courses, linking them to relevant details such as enrolment status, study mode, and training plans. By centralising student information, the Admin Portal streamlines enrolment workflows, reduces manual data entry errors, and enhances overall administrative efficiency.
With an intuitive interface, the Admin Portal simplifies the enrolment process by integrating essential student details, course selections, and compliance requirements. It enables administrators to track enrolment history, update student records, and generate reports for compliance and operational insights. This functionality ensures that student data remains accurate, up to date, and easily accessible, supporting effective course management and regulatory compliance.

FAQs
What is Force Enrol?
Force Enrol is a feature in the SMS that allows administrators to manually enrol students into their respective LMS courses. This is used in cases where enrolment has been completed in the SMS, but students have not yet been enrolled in their LMS courses (e.g. the group start date hasn’t commenced yet, among other reasons). This ensures that students have the appropriate access to their courses. To do this, simply:
1. Go to the student’s profile, then under the Enrolments tab, edit at least one enrolment.
2. Go to the Units tab, then edit at least one unit.
3. Tick the Force Enrol to LMS box, then click the check icon to save.
4. A confirmation message for the successful modification will appear. Click OK to close it.
The student should now see the course when they access their LMS.
