From 2 July, the 'pre-enrolled' student status will be removed and existing 'pre-enrolled' students will be changed to 'unenrolled'. Schools should update student statuses to 'enrolled' or 'unenrolled' and enrol students at their current year level for transition assessments. No student records will be deleted.
What's changing?
From 2 July, the 'pre-enrolled' student status will no longer be available to assign to students. Any students currently listed as 'pre-enrolled' will have their status changed to 'unenrolled'.
No student records will be deleted as part of this change.
Why?
This status was originally intended to be used in cases where incoming students are to be assessed before being officially enrolled at their destination school, for example, during transition from primary to secondary school.
It is being removed due to limited use amongst schools and lack of support within the system's other workflows, including reporting and student year level rollover.
What do you need to do?
At any time, before or after this change, you can update students' enrolment status to either 'enrolled' or 'unenrolled. See this article for more information: Updating students’ details.
If you need to assess students prior to them joining your school, we recommend enrolling them in your school's account with their current year level. This will allow for easy updating via the student import assistant or year level rollover processes.
Please contact ACER's School Support team if you need assistance with this change.
