Adding guest students and changing enrolment modes

Adding a guest student if they are not already on Arbor

To add guest pupils to your site if they are not already on Arbor, you will first need to add a student profile for each student. There are two ways to do this - manually adding each one, or importing a CTF.

• If these students have been added only to record details for them and sign them up to clubs, for example, only enrol them into your school, not into year groups, registration forms or lesson registers.
• If you want the students to have attendance marks taken for them, you will need to enrol the student into registers.

Marking the student as a guest student

The student isn't enrolled

On the student profile, click Enrolment from the left-hand side. In the School Enrolments section click +Add.

In the slide over, change the Enrolment mode to Guest Pupil, leave the rest of the fields, then click Enrol Student. This will not add them to registers.

The student is already enrolled

On the student profile, click Enrolment from the left-hand side. In the This year Enrolment Modes section click +Add.

In the slide over, change the Enrolment mode to Guest Pupil, change the dates to cover the whole academic year, then click Assign Enrolment Mode.

Other enrolment modes eg. Dual Registration

You can also set a student as dual-registered, or amend a student's enrolment mode from the same place. If an enrolment mode isn't selected, the student will be presumed to be single registered in your school. The options are:

• Dual Registration (Main)
• Dual Registration (Subsidiary)
• FE College
• Guest Pupil
• Other Provider
• Single Registration

Amending an existing enrolment mode

You can change an existing enrolment mode from the student's profile.

1. Click Enrolment in the left-hand menu and scroll to the 2022/23 Enrolment Modes section.
2. Click on the current enrolment mode and click Edit.
3. Click into the Enrolment Mode drop-down to select the new mode from the list.
4. Click Save Changes.

Not sure which option to choose?

Not sure which option to choose for Dual Registered students?

• Dual Registration - Main - you should use this if the student spends the majority of their time at your school. 
• Dual Registration - Subsidiary - you should use this if your student spends less of their time at your school than they do the other school they attend.
