Student Screen

The profile contained in the student screen contains batches of information relating to the student and their relationship with you, the education provider.

Please note: In this screenshot, there is a “Stakeholders” tab. This is only available to those customers who have subscribed to the Stakeholders module with SELMA. The Stakeholders tab contains information for contacts and organisations that relate to the student, and can be linked to the student profile in the Stakeholders tab.

Student Status

The status of a student is by default “Provisional”. In order to enrol a student, you have to change the status to “Ready”. Workflows are available to validate your information before making a student “Ready”. Talk to the SELMA team at support@selma.co.nz for a custom workflow.

Older records will be marked as inactive if there was no activity for a while (this is automated by SELMA). As soon as there is activity for the student again, the status will change to ‘Provisional’.

Inactive students are hidden by default on search grids – this improves the speed and handling of the software. If you want to search for inactive students, you can change the default criteria in the advanced search.
