Overview
Display label: Enable _Student_ enrollment view based on enrollment history
Setting ID: College_Enable_Enrollments_History_View
Location: Main Settings > General Settings > Higher Education Customization, group Basic Settings
What This Setting Does
When enabled, Classter shows a View Enrollments Per Enrollment History option on a _Student_’s enrollment screen, letting staff review and manage a _Student_’s _Subject_ enrollments grouped by enrollment history rather than only by the _Student_’s current enrollment state.
Where It Is Used
Main Menu > Students > Student > open a Student’s record > Enrollments/Curriculum tab > View Enrollments Per Enrollment History button.
Business Logic / Behavior
- The View Enrollments Per Enrollment History button and its save action are applied together with Higher Education Mode being active; Classter’s Student enrollment save logic checks Higher Education Mode alongside this setting before processing enrollment changes through the history view.
- This setting also depends on Group history view per (College_Group_HIstory_View_Per): enrollment history snapshots are only created and consulted when that setting is set to a value other than None. If Group history view per is set to None, this setting has no visible effect even when enabled.
- When active, changes to a _Student_’s _Subject_ enrollment status, for example moving from Registered to Passed, are recorded as educational snapshots so the enrollment history can later be reviewed per _Grade_, per _Group_, or per whichever grouping is configured.
- When disabled, the _Student_’s enrollment screen shows only the current enrollment state, without the enrollment-history view or its button.
Example(s)
Alpha Institute enrolls Maria P. in Introduction to Marketing in Fall 2025, then re-enrolls her in the same _Subject_ in Spring 2026 after a failed attempt. With this setting enabled and Group history view per configured to a value other than None, staff can open Maria’s _Student_ record and use View Enrollments Per Enrollment History to see both enrollment attempts recorded separately, instead of only her current Spring 2026 status.
When to Use
When to Enable
- The institution tracks _Student_ re-enrollments, retakes, or _Subject_ status changes across multiple periods and needs to see a _Student_’s full enrollment history, which is typical of credit-based higher education programs.
When to Disable
- The institution only needs to see a _Student_’s current enrollment state and does not need historical enrollment snapshots, and prefers to keep the enrollment screen simpler.
Notes
- Prerequisites: Higher Education Mode must be enabled for the enrollment-history view and its save action to be available; Group history view per (College_Group_HIstory_View_Per) must be set to a value other than None for enrollment history snapshots to actually be captured and shown.
- Related settings: Use automatic _Group_ creation based on _Subject_ (Auto_Create_Group_From_Subject in Higher Education Customization > Basic Settings)
- Related settings: Group history view per (College_Group_HIstory_View_Per in Higher Education Customization > Basic Settings)
- Related settings: Allow multiple _Group_ enrollments (College_multiple_groups_enrolments in Higher Education Customization > Basic Settings)
- Related settings: Check for existing _Group_ limits in _Group_ enrollments (Check_For_Existing_Group_Limits_In_Group_Enrollments in Higher Education Customization > Basic Settings)
K-12 vs Higher Education: Confirmed in code, the Student enrollment save action that applies this setting is combined with a check on Higher Education Mode being active. In K-12 configurations where Higher Education Mode is disabled, the enrollment-history view and its related save action are not available regardless of this setting’s value.
