When a student does not finish a course within the Term and/or School Year they were originally registered for, a school may allow them to continue the course into the next Term and/or School Year. In PASI this is represented by marking the initial Course Enrolment with a Status of “Continuing (Course Enrolment Status)” and having a Course Enrolment that starts after the initial one to ‘continue’ the course enrolment for the student.
For example:
Continuing Course Enrolments should be used by the school to indicate that the student intends to finish the work for a course at the same school, just in a longer timeframe than originally expected. It should not be used if student have no intention to complete the course work or if the student moves to a different school.
Continuing Course Enrolments can also be used to span the student's studies over multiple School Years if required (as Section for a single Course Enrolment is tied to a single School Year), for cases such as distance learning where the class schedule does not necessary conform to a traditional School Year schedule.
A Course Enrolment can be a Predecessor when all of the following is true:
A Course Enrolment can be a suitable Successor when:
It is possible for student to continue a course for more than 2 Course Enrolment terms; a 'chain' of continuing Course Enrolments can be established by setting up multiple Continuing Course Enrolments for the same course/student/school. Once the student completes the course work, their mark should be submitted on the last Successor of the chain.
