Only one update mode may be chosen at any time when running this wizard. This means the schools/calendars/grades selected to have enable portal acceptance can be chosen again in order to turn off portal acceptance. The following options are available:

  • Enable Portal Acceptance - allows students/parents to accept enrollment in the selected school.
  • Disable Portal Acceptance - removes the ability for students/parents to accept enrollment in the selected school.
  • Change Acceptance Status - alters the status of accepted applications from one option to another. When this is chosen, two new options display for selection (Acceptance Status Filter and New Acceptance Status).
  • Lock/Unlock Approval Status - sets the approval status as whatever chosen option (based on selection in the Approval Status Filter) to be locked or unlocked. When locked, no further changes can be made.
Approval Status FilterAllows selection of the status of the entered applications.

Only appears for Change Acceptance Status Mode. The chosen status changes existing applications to the new status set in the New Acceptance Status Status.
