ENROLLMENT MANAGEMENT BUSINESS PROCESS<br />

Overview<br />

Students may enroll via the web (My<strong>Cerritos</strong>), telephone (EPOS) or in-person. At the time of the<br />

enrollment, all three processes will automatically check to ensure the appropriate course<br />

requisites have been met as well as checking to ensure a student is not enrolled over the<br />

maximum unit limit, are on academic or progress dismissal, has holds, illegal repeats and/or has<br />

time conflicts with other courses. The enrollment engine in PeopleSoft only reports the first<br />

error that is encountered at the time of enrollment. So, if a student addresses their issue and tries<br />

to enroll again, they might encounter a different issue. If a student is currently enrolled in a<br />

course that is a requisite for a class they are attempting to enroll in, PeopleSoft assumes the<br />

student will be successful and will grant access to the course. Afterward, Admissions and<br />

Records will drop the student from the roster once it is determined that the student has received a<br />

substandard grade.<br />

Students may request to be placed on a wait list if a class is full at the time of enrollment.<br />

Eligibility for enrollment is verified prior to a student being added to the waitlist. If a student's<br />

situation changes from the time they were first added to the waitlist, they are not removed from<br />

the waitlist. Eligibility for enrollment is again during the time the student is moved from the<br />

waitlist to the class roster. No check are performed when students add classes to the shopping<br />

cart. Also, as students drop from classes, PeopleSoft is setup to automatically enroll wait listed<br />

students into the available seats.<br />

Faculty members are encouraged to print their roster prior to class via Rosters+. Student “no<br />

shows” or drops should be handled on a regular basis using the Drop Students Tab. This will<br />

allow students on the waitlist to automatically be moved into the class roster, and will also allow<br />

additional students to get onto the waitlist. If for some reason a faculty member can't get into<br />

Rosters+, please contact the division secretary, dean, or department chair because they will have<br />

access to all appropriate rosters.<br />

Appointments<br />

Enrollment appointments will be generated in PeopleSoft and mailed to students approximately 2<br />

weeks prior to the commencement of registration. The appointment notification will indicate any<br />

holds that have been placed on the student. Appointments will be assigned regardless of holds;<br />

however, enrollment will be blocked pending the removal of the hold.<br />

Waitlist<br />

A waitlist will be established for all courses. The size will be the greater of the following two<br />

conditions: 20% of the course enrollment limit or 10. Once the enrollment limit has been met<br />

students will be offered a waitlist position. The last date for a student to get onto a waitlist will<br />

be the same date as the last day for enrollment. Once all positions on the waitlist have been used<br />

students will be advised that the course is closed.<br />

Students will be moved from the waitlist to enrolled status as seats become available via the<br />

auto-enroll function within PeopleSoft. Access to the waitlist will be turned off beginning the<br />

second week of the session; however students will be automatically moved from the waitlist until<br />

the end of the second week.<br />

4


Students should check on-line via My<strong>Cerritos</strong> to see if they have been moved from the waitlist.<br />

If a student has not moved from the waitlist prior to the first meeting of the class they are still<br />

required to attend the first meeting of the class or they should be dropped (by faculty) from the<br />

waitlist on that day.<br />

If you find that students are not being added to your class from the waitlist, please check for the<br />

following issues within Rosters+ by looking at the enrollment page and clicking on student ID:<br />

1. Pre-requisite(s) not met<br />

2. Time conflicts with other courses<br />

3. Enrolled in too many units<br />

4. On academic or progress dismissal<br />

5. Illegal Repeats<br />

6. Holds<br />

Enrollment transactions (failures and successes) are listed in Rosters+ for your review. If the<br />

student in the 1st position on the waitlist is not eligible to move up into the course enrollment<br />

due to one of the above reasons, the student in the 2nd position will move up if they qualify, and<br />

so on.<br />

Closed Classes<br />

Enrollment can be stopped for an individual course at any time by the division. Once this has<br />

been done students must petition to be added to the class; division dean approval is required for<br />

each student who petitions.<br />

Drops<br />

Students may drop a class via the web, telephone, or in-person. Students who do not show up for<br />

the first scheduled meeting of a class will have their enrollment or waitlist position dropped.<br />

This drop should be initiated by faculty using the Roster+ program.<br />

When students are dropped in Rosters+, we need to capture the most accurate date possible.<br />

If “No Show” is selected, the 1 st day of class is set (and the date can't be changed).<br />

If “Drop” is selected, today’s date is set.<br />

o<br />

The program will automatically default the date, however, if today is not the<br />

correct drop date, you can click the calendar icon and select the correct date:<br />

Here are the guidelines that have been defined:<br />

Instructors shall clear their roster of “no show” students not later than the second<br />

class meeting for all students.<br />

No shows” are defined as students that did not attend on the very first day<br />

of class. Faculty shall select “no show” to drop students that did not<br />

attended the first day of class.<br />

For online and/or for classes with no meeting patterns, instructors shall<br />

clear their roster of "no show" students by the end of the first week.<br />

5


Instructors shall clear rosters of “inactive students” no later than the 14th week of<br />

classes or 75% of the term, whichever is less.<br />

1. “Drops” are defined as students that are no longer participating in<br />

the class. Faculty shall select “drop” to drop students that are no<br />

longer participating.<br />

A report will be generated listing students that have been unsuccessful in a course requisite in the<br />

prior term. These students will be manually dropped from the class by Admissions and Records<br />

and will be given a drop code of Pre-Req Drop. All drop reason codes are available within<br />

Rosters+. Below are examples of your drop roster:<br />

6. Grey, Cris 1599619 Dec 13, 2005 Pre-Req Drop<br />

Class Size - Over Limit<br />

In the event a faculty member agrees to allow a student or group of students to enroll in a class<br />

that would result in the class limit being exceeded, the division should be involved. Examples<br />

include classes that have a history of high attrition. The division would need to increase the size<br />

of the waitlist if this occurs within the first two weeks of the session. At the end of the first two<br />

weeks if there are still students on the wait list (who have been attending class), the division may<br />

override the class size (temporarily) to enroll the wait listed students.<br />

Add<br />

A faculty member can use the "Instructor Add" feature, during the 2nd week of most sessions, to<br />

add students into their class. The program will automatically override the class size limit for that<br />

add.<br />

Manual Process<br />

You must use a form to "Request for late add / petition" and for "Grade Changes".<br />

Re-Instatements<br />

If a student has a legitimate reason for missing the first class meeting, the student may be<br />

manually re-enrolled by Admissions &Records with instructor approval.<br />

Timing<br />

Below is a table that details the process flow and timing of the enrollment cycles for the<br />

18 week session. Please refer to the Enrollment Calendar in the Schedule of Classes for detailed<br />

dates of various sessions.<br />

LIST OF CLASSES<br />

Grade Rosters:<br />

Upon entering Rosters+ the first panel will look like the panel below. Your name and a list of your current<br />

courses will be displayed on the screen. You will only be able to access your own classes. The Division<br />

Deans, Department Chairs, and support staff will be granted additional security as requested from<br />

Information Technology to be able to view all department or all division rosters.<br />

8


After you log in:<br />

Select the class for which you need a roster by clicking the appropriate class.<br />

The class roster will display all students in your class by name and student number. The student’s<br />

major is displayed on the roster. Please note that the word “Transfer” is often used within<br />

the description of the major. The column heading “Minor” identifies students that are under<br />

18 years of age.<br />

If you have a waitlist on your class roster, it will be displayed below the class roster. All students on the<br />

roster and the waitlist have met all pre- requisites. From this screen, you can do many tasks. Each tab<br />

represents a different function. Click on the tab related to the task you want to perform.<br />

Students that are auditing the class will be listed below the roster under a separate category titled “Audit<br />

Students.” Those students who have been dropped from the class will also show in a separate category<br />

below the roster under “Dropped Students.”<br />

ROSTER<br />

Printing Your Roster:<br />

You are encouraged to print your roster the morning prior to your class (they are updated nightly).<br />

Student “no shows” should be handled on a daily basis using the Drop Students Tab. This will allow<br />

students on the waitlist to automatically be moved into your class, and will also allow additional students<br />

to get onto the waitlist.<br />

Once you see the Printable Class Roster or Printable Class Roster, No ID on your screen: Use the Print<br />

Option on the File Menu of the browser.<br />

Information on Auditing Students:<br />

There is a separate category for "Audit Students" on the roster. Any student that requested to audit<br />

the class will appear in that list.<br />

Information on Wait Lists:<br />

Below the class roster, a list of student on the wait list will be displayed if applicable. Students are added<br />

to the Wait List in the order in which they request enrollment. Students can view their position on the<br />

waitlist via My<strong>Cerritos</strong>.<br />

10


Students who enroll can choose to put themselves on a paid Wait List for a class which is already full.<br />

Students can also drop themselves from the waitlist. The normal enrollment fees apply for resident, nonresident,<br />

and/or international students, including lab fees. Students with a BOGG will get a fee waiver to<br />

cover the enrollment fees and lab fees.<br />

The wait list capacity will be automatically set as follows: greater of 10 seats or 20% of the class<br />

enrollment limit. Students will be limited to a maximum of 10 units on a waitlist at one time. The last date<br />

for a student to get onto a Wait List will be the same date as the last day for enrollment.<br />

On a nightly basis the waitlist students will be automatically added into the class as space becomes<br />

available. The waitlist will be purged at the end of the 3 rd week and the appropriate credits to the student<br />

account will be completed. If an instructor agrees to exceed the assigned Enrollment Limit (class<br />

maximum size) then they can use the “Instructor Add” to request Admissions & Records to override the<br />

class limit. This agreement is at the discretion of your Division Dean because student safety is a critical<br />

consideration.<br />

Before a course has started<br />

Students can add themselves to the Wait List, but they must agree to pay for the class to be on the<br />

Wait list, just as a regular class enrollment, within the standard grace period as described in the class<br />

schedule. The system will let students know their position on the Wait List. Before the first day of<br />

class, if a space in the class becomes available because someone drops the class, the first student on<br />

the Wait List is automatically added to the roster.<br />

On the First Day of Class<br />

Students who are still on the Wait List MUST come to the first class meeting. There is no “no show”<br />

rosters in PeopleSoft. If a student who is already enrolled does NOT attend the first meeting, the<br />

instructor must drop them from the course via Rosters +. The students from the Wait List will be<br />

automatically enrolled during the nightly process in PeopleSoft. The intent of the waitlist is to enroll<br />

students that meet the requisites in a first come, first serve manner.<br />

Team Taught Classes<br />

Team taught classes allow either instructor to use the roster and/or submit grades.<br />

DROP STUDENTS<br />

Dropping Students From Your Course:<br />

Rosters are updated nightly. Students may drop classes via the phone, online or in-person. There are<br />

not any “no show” rosters in PeopleSoft. If a student who is already enrolled does not attend the first<br />

meeting, the instructor must drop them from the roster or waitlist via Rosters+. The students from<br />

the Wait List will be automatically enrolled during the nightly process in PeopleSoft as students are<br />

being dropped. Drop requests must be performed on a timely basis by instructors throughout the<br />

semester.<br />

Lecture-Lab Relationship<br />

Within lecture/lab related classes, the drop is only initiated within the lecture, and the drop occurs<br />

within the related lab automatically. The student name is displayed with a line drawn through it if<br />

there is a pending drop to be done in PeopleSoft. Now, the student name in the related lab is also<br />

shown with a line drawn through it during the drop process.<br />

Click on the Drop Students Tab<br />

A list of all the current students will appear on the roster & waitlist. Click in the small box to add a<br />

check mark beside each student to initiate a request to drop them from the class. Click “Drop<br />

Students” to initiate the process. An email will be sent to you and the student (if we have an email<br />

address in PeopleSoft for the student) to confirm the drop was requested. The requests will<br />

automatically run every 30 minutes to drop student(s). The changes will be reflected on your roster<br />

as soon as the process is completed. Once the actual drop is recorded in PeopleSoft, the drop date<br />

will be displayed.<br />

On the Drop/No Show Date column, write the last date the student attended class.<br />

Drop No Show Student Name Student ID Drop/No Show Date<br />

INSTRUCTOR ADD<br />

Instructor Permission to Add Class:<br />

If an instructor wishes to request that a student be added to their class after the waitlist has closed,<br />

select the Instructor Add tab. Adds can only be done during the 2 nd week of instruction.<br />

Enter the student’s seven digit student number in the box. Click on the “Send Add Permission” button.<br />

This will initiate an email to Admissions and Records.<br />

They must validate the prerequisites and ensure the student is in good standing prior to enrollment.<br />

14


Permission Add Numbers<br />

Permission numbers will not be distributed to faculty within this application because with PeopleSoft<br />

the permission numbers are designed to override the pre-requisite checking. This would not be<br />

appropriate with our new business practice of requisite checking, paid waitlist, and auto enrollment<br />

for those students on the waitlist. Late add petitions will still be used but only on an exception basis.<br />

The new business process will be performed by Admissions & Records only. They will manually enter<br />

the transaction into PeopleSoft using the appropriate overrides.<br />

Add Date<br />

Once A&R completes the add in PeopleSoft, the “Add Date” will be displayed the following morning.<br />

If the “Add Date” is blank, the add has not been done.<br />

Instructor Add Tab Availability<br />

The Instructor Add tab is only available to faculty for a limited time. The available dates are<br />

displayed on the screen.<br />

FINAL GRADES<br />

Input Final Grades:<br />

All grades must be entered before grades can be submitted. It is a three step process to input final<br />

grades.<br />

1. Enter the Grades<br />

2. Confirm the Grades<br />

3. Send the Grades<br />

Do not logout or leave the grade input screen until you see the message saying that your Grades<br />

have been submitted with a date and time indicated. If you logout or move to another class<br />

prematurely, the grades will not be stored or sent to PeopleSoft. After submitting your grades<br />

electronically, please print, sign, and forward the final grade document to Admissions and<br />

Records with supplemental documentation and grading checklist within 7 working days. Once<br />

grades have been submitted, they cannot be changed online. To change a grade, contact<br />

Admissions and Records at the college to obtain a paper Change of Grade form.<br />

Once you are sure that all the grades have been entered correctly click on the button labeled:<br />

Step 2 of 3: Confirm Final Grades<br />

Incomplete Grades:<br />

If you need to give a student an incomplete, select the "I" from the grade list. An additional form<br />

will appear at the bottom of the form when you try to submit the grades. Enter a default grade for<br />

the student. A default grade is what the student has earned so far and will receive if they do NOT<br />

clear the incomplete. Enter the work that is still outstanding and which is needed to clear the<br />

incomplete grade.<br />

16


Special Requirements for F Grades:<br />

The Online Grading System will ask for additional information for each student who receives an F<br />

grade. In each case, instructors will be asked to provide the last documented date of participation.<br />

17


The instructor should selects the appropriate radio button, and choose the last date in which the student<br />

participated in the class. If the last date of participation is unknown, then the instructor selects "No Doc"<br />

from the drop down menus.<br />

Some special classes require instructors to record Positive Attendance as well as grades. Positive<br />

Attendance fields will only appear on your roster if it applies to your class. Enter the number of<br />

hours that each student attended class in the field provided. Enter positive attendance for<br />

students who have dropped the class based on the hours that they attended before they<br />

dropped. You can enter partial hours by using decimals, such as 1.5 hrs. You must also enter<br />

grades for each student.<br />

TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS<br />

Printing<br />

A special version of your roster is available on the Printable Class Roster link at the top of the page<br />

showing your roster near the Go button. Click on this link for best results when you need to print out<br />

your roster. If you are still having trouble getting your rosters to print correctly, it could be due to<br />

some of the differences between versions of the web browsers. (Even the most careful webpage<br />

design person cannot create a document that will print perfectly from every possible web browser<br />

version or every printer.) If you have Netscape Navigator, the rosters appear to print correctly on<br />

most versions. If you have Internet Explorer, and the roster is NOT printing correctly, try the<br />

following:<br />

• Use your mouse to select the part of the page that you want to print.<br />

(Typically this is the name of the class and the list of student names and numbers AND NOT the<br />

logo.)<br />

• From the File Menu, choose Print.<br />

• In the Print Dialog box, select Print Selection in the Page Range section.<br />

• This will omit the logo and then the names and numbers will print correctly.<br />

• See the example below.<br />
