New Student Registration -wrong school year

[Kate2044m]

Hi, 

i have just completed new student student registrations for both of my kids.

after completing the registrations and submitting I have realized there was one for year 2018-2019 - current school year and one for 2019-2020 upcoming school year.

i submitted the forms for the wrong school year. How do I correct this error without having to create duplicate registration?

Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi @Kate2044m , thank you for this question!

Data cannot be transferred between two different forms, as each form is created uniquely for your school district each year. I would suggest submitting a new form for the correct school year, then contacting your school district to let them know of the submitted form for the incorrect school year so they can remove the record.

Is this still the case or do Districts have more power to adjust to a different school year if the wrong form was filled out? Or should we just deliver the record and manually update the entry/exit dates?

Hi @cmanders1 

Thank you for reaching out to the community for assistance.

Any changes to a submitted form can be done by the school administration only. However, transferring information between two submitted forms is not possible at present.

I would suggest submitting a new form for the correct school year, then contacting the school district to let them know of the submitted form for the incorrect school year so they can remove the record.

Is this something that will be available in the near future?

Hi @JacquelineE7

Unfortunately, the option to transfer information from the previous year's form to a new form will not be available in near future. To verify the authenticity and accuracy of data, the information has to be re-entered while filling up a new form.

Thanks 😊!

I'm happy to fill out the form a second time for the upcoming school year, however, the system won't allow me to do that as it says that the student already exists because of the first form I filled out by mistake for the current school year. How should I proceed?

Hi @bethanycook105

Once the New student form has been submitted for a student for the current year, you cannot apply as a New student for the upcoming year. You would need to register as a returning student. However, if you have filled out the wrong registration form, you would have to reach out to your district to withdraw the application. Once that is canceled, you can request the district to share the correct form link for the upcoming year and register for it.
