Add an enrollment limbo option for students who are approved in online registration without adding a state reportable enrollment date
When new students are approved through the online application/registration process, Skyward is adding the approval date to the entry/withdraw tab as the official enrollment date. This is problematic because these dates are not accurate since there is a day or so lapse in time while the school builds a schedule, finalizes assessments and placements for special services, etc. Therefore, it would be helpful if new students could be added in a "pending status" where schools can see the student and build schedules without causing the need for the registrar to keep tabs and change the enrollment dates once the school is ready for the student to start. Not realizing that Skyward was doing this cause a bit of a clean up job for us this year.

This would be nice. We arbitatrly date forward the start date 3 days to give the buildings time but this still requires some change. It messes with state reporting when a submission is due around this time and then they change an enrollment date.
