  1. NSOE - Unsubmitted Application Report

    Hello:

    Our District would like to request an "Unsubmitted Application Report" in the NSOE module. This would be extremely helpful for when guardians start an application and "think" they have finished it but actually have not. We had a guardian who started an application in February but didn't complete some of the custom forms but still thought he had completed the application. He finally stopped in at the school in May to find out why the application was not approved when it was never submitted so we did not know about the enrollment. How can we create an "Unsubmitted Application…

  2. Ability to view who has requested a login and password for NSOE application to follow up if they completed the application

    I need to be able to see who requested a login and password to apply and did not complete the application. Ran into issues with families thinking they had applied and it was not complete.

    If an email could be auto generated to me for anyone requesting a login and password to complete the NSOE, I could monitor to see if they complete the application and email them to see if they need assistance if they did not.

    I was able to download the emails from Product setup > System Admin > email history > into an excel document. Then…

  3. NSOE - NY Enrollment Enable FA

    Hello:
    It would be extremely helpful if, after an NSOE application has been approved for NY (next school year) that the Family Access Account could also become active for that student prior to the year-end roll over. Guardians who apply via NSOE are granted access to FA however if the approval is for next year and they then log in FA during the current year, they get a message stating: "This user does not have access to Family/Student Access" which causes confusion for guardians who have an accepted application. Our district registrar has fielded numerous phone calls from guardians questioning…

  4. Allow the Technology questions to be required in NSOE

    The new technology questions added to tNSOE do not allow us to make them required. Can this be allowed?

  5. Add FS Application and all other options to NSOE the same as they are available in Online Registration

    Add FS Application and all other options available in Online Registration to NSOE

    It would make so much more sense and save so much time and extra hassle for parents and staff to have the same options available for new students enrolling in the district as the students that e-enroll each year.

    Once we have a parent registering their new student(s) we want them to be able to do everything needed to register at that time. We may not get the parent to go back on and complete the rest of the registration process which includes important steps such as…

  6. New Student Online Enrollment allowing a existing guardian to edit their address

    New Student Online Enrollment Application allow existing guardians to update their address.

    When a guardian is bringing their child/children back into the district since the guardian is already in the system they can't update their address which has almost always changed. It would be very helpful if they could change their address on the application.

  7. NSOE

    It would be extremely convenient if, when denying an NSOE application after giving the reason for denial, the guardian could then have the option to make corrections to the existing application and then resubmit it rather then having to start the entire application process over again.

  8. Edit for parents in new student enrollment

    Currently parents are unable to access forms if they have accidentally hit submit. Is there any way Skyward could add an Edit Button so parents could have access to make changes or add information??

  9. New Student Online Enrollment Reports

    Parent email address should be added to the user-defined reports in application processing-prior to approving the application. you can print them in the portal. However, it only picks up new parents. If parents went through an already established family access account(those with students already) they aren't included in the excel spreadsheet and there is no way to generate a list of them all in one report, especially for kdg. reg.

  10. Make it easier for existing FA users to register New students w/out duplicates

    There needs to be a way to keep RETURNING students from submitting a NSOE application. I know that we can disable displaying the link to new enrollment on Family Access, but if you do that then existing users will have to request another acct to register a new student. Say a parent has 2 in school and now they will have a PK. Parent already has an account. If the register new student link is not visible in Family Access she will have to go to the district site and click on the new student enrollment...which defaults to register for…

  11. Send Auto Emails to ALL F1 P/G in NSOE

    We feel that ALL Family 1 Parent/Guardians should receive ANY email that goes out from NSOE.

    We discovered, by accident, that in NSOE, only the 1st Parent listed for the family will receive auto emails. This could be the email that is generated after they submit their application, or an email they might receive if an application is denied. If there is no email listed for the 1st Parent, they will not receive anything, EVEN IF there is an email listed for the 2nd Parent.

    Skyward has indicated that this is "by design"; please vote to get this changed ASAP.…

  12. NSOE Enrollment Users Mass Delete

    We need a utility to mass delete old and unused NSOE Enrollment Users. As of right now, there is only a Delete button that can be used to individually delete each one. This is time consuming and a hassle.

  13. Add Email Column to NSOE "Enrollment Application Processing"

    There needs to be a Guardian Email column in the "Enrollment Application Processing" screen. Currently, you can only capture the email address AFTER the application has been processed. If you need to communicate to applications in a Work In Progress status, you have to open each application individually to get the email address. For example, if you have 50 applications in a WIP status and all the parent is missing is a birth certificate, you could email just those applicants about the missing BC once you export the list to Excel, perhaps.

  14. NSE - Use Calendar to Validate Dates

    We would like for the calendar to be used to validate "expected enrollment date". For example, if we only have NSE turned on for Current Year, we would like for users to not be able to enter an expected enrollment date beyond the last day of school. Additionally, if we have Next Year turned on, we would like for users to not be able to enter an expected enrollment date prior to the first day of school for the next school year.

  16. NY registration and NY Grad Year Fee's

    When registering for NY, within the CY, the system should look at which year the application is being processed and apply those grad year fee's. Currently, the system only looks at the CY grad year fee's, which are different for our NY fee's, and applies CY grad year fee's for an application that has been approved for NY.

    This is not work around this except running a mass add fee daily and since this is a processing utility, it can not be scheduled. I have to physically go into 10 schools each day, re-create the ranges and set up the…

    Please make it possible for parents/guardians to be able to fill out custom forms through the New Student Online Enrollment on a mobile device (phone, tablet, chromebook). As it stands, even on a chromebook, it is difficult to fill out the custom forms.

  19. Mass Print Registration Information After Approval

    This is actually for New and Returning Student Enrollment. We would like the ability to mass print the required forms/information for students' Cumulative folders after approving registrations. Much like batching, if a campus approves multiple enrollments for that day or week, they need to be able to easily print out those forms from registrations that have been approved. Right now, they have to either build a processing list to use with the Custom Forms/Student Information Report area, or manually add names that they need within the Reports area. It would be much more proficient to have the ability to print…

  20. 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…
