How to add and enroll a student via web UI

[tsathis]

I cannot find a way to add new student to UniTime. Also, how to enroll a student to a course?

[tomas-muller]

Students cannot be created directly in UniTime. We expect students to be imported into UniTime from a Student Information System.

Depending on what you want to do, there are a few options:

1. You can import student class enrollments (using Student class enrollments XML (see here for an example). The Administration > Academic Sessions > Data Exchange page can import the XML file.

2. You can import student course requests (using Student course requests XML (see here for an example) and then run the Student Scheduling Solver to enroll students in individual classes.

3. You can import just the students (using Students XML (see here for an example) and then let the students register themselves (using the Student Course Requests page and then using the Student Scheduling Solver to enroll students in individual classes) or to enroll themselves into classes (using the Student Scheduling Assistant page). For this, you need to have the academic session set in a status that allows for pre-registration and/or student scheduling: on Administration > Other > Status Types, the status needs to have the appropriate options checked in the Student Scheduling section.
