Switching from separate AM, PM All Day registers to one register for AM and PM

This article provides a step-by-step guide for transitioning from separate AM and PM registers to a single register for each morning and afternoon period. It outlines the process of ending current lessons and enrolments, adding students to an all-day register, and creating a new course structure if necessary. The goal is to streamline student registration for AM and PM classes.

What your register structure might look like

In the AM, you may have three registers:

  • AM students
  • PM students
  • All Day students

In the PM, you may have registers:

  • AM students
  • PM students
  • All Day students

To resolve this, so there is one Register for AM (including your Morning only and All Day students) and one for PM (including your Afternoon only and All Day students), you should follow the steps below: 

Please bear in mind that after completing this process, the old structure before the change will remain. You may wish to rename these old modules to make this clear to other staff.


Step 1 - End current lessons

1. Go to School > Programmes > Courses

2. Select the AM course (you may need to click the plus icon to expand this section)

The structure may look like this example or may be different dependant on your set up.

Repeat this for the PM course.

Step 3 - Add students to the all-day register

The final step is to add new enrolments for students into the All Day course with a start date of tomorrow. The easiest way to do this is by using the Bulk enrolment page: Using our bulk enrolment page

All students will then appear in the single register when they are due in school.

We can't select the different days to enrol students into

If you can't see a separate module for Monday AM, Monday PM etc, this means the course structure isn't set up with a Module for each AM and PM.

In this case, we recommend creating a new course structure. Following this process, you'll need to end the timetable slots for your old All Day course too, and start your new course from tomorrow onwards.

  1. Go to School > Programmes > Courses. Click +Add to add a New Course with a relevant title.
  1. Click into the newly created course, which should have '(No Lessons Scheduled)' >
  2.  Locate the Module section > click +Add. >and label the Module Monday AM > then click Add Module.

Within each module, you'll need to schedule the register for that period only. 

4. Within the Module > click +Add in the Classes & Lessons section and add Monday AM's register.

Use the web browser's back button to return to the main course where you have just added the Monday AM module.

Review and continue to add the modules for Monday PM, Tuesday AM, etc., until you have your whole week scheduled.

The new course should show as below from School > Programmes > Courses. You should then be able to use the Bulk Enrolment page to enrol in the right registers.
