Understanding Program Actions Where Future Enrollments Exist

For certain program actions, if you enter the program action but the student is enrolled in classes where the start date of the term is after the effective date of that program action, the system displays a warning message because these are future enrollments. The program actions affected by future enrollments are the following:

If you receive the warning message for one of these program actions, then perform the appropriate action on the student's future class enrollments. Because each academic institution has different policies, the warning message alerts so that you can take action based on your institution's policies.

For example, if you enter a program action of DISM (Dismissal) and the student has registered and paid tuition for classes in the following term, your institution might require that you drop the student from the courses and issue a full refund.

Or, if you enter a program action of COMP (Completion of Program) and the student has registered for classes in the following term, your institution might require that you activate the student in a nondegree-seeking program by changing the student career number to the new academic program on the Term Activation page. This enables the student to continue attending the academic institution.
