→ What new fields are mandatory?
The only mandatory fields are the Actual Course Fee Amount—which is the sum of the Course Tuition Fee and the Course Compulsory Fee—and the Qualification Completion Date, which corresponds to the enrolment’s Finished Date.
All other fields are optional. However, please note that for Final Fees Free, the IRD number is important.
→ Where can I enter the Actual Course Fee Amount?
This is a not a new field in SELMA SIS. The value is taken from the Course Tuition Fee plus the Course Compulsory Fee under the enrolment component level.


For new enrolments, default values can be set-up on component level.

→ When setting the Secondary School Programme Indicator, should we only set if the programme would be eligible for Final Year Fees Free?
No as these course enrolments are excluded from Fees Free.
