Future students

Synergetic allows you to enter and maintain details of the following types of student records:

• Prospective students are created when you receive enrolment enquiries.
• Once a prospective student has made an application to enrol, they become a future student.
• When a student starts at your organisation, they become a current student.
• When a student leaves your organisation, they become a past student.

Note: The Future, Current and Past student types are maintained as constituencies in the community database. It is possible for students to belong to more than one constituency. For example, a student would be both a past student and a current student if they had left your organisation for a period of time and then returned.

Enquiries:

• Are not created in the community database. Enquiry students are created through Enquiry Student Maintenance.
• Have an enquiry ID number associated with them instead of a community ID.
• Are transferred into future students when an enrolment application is received.

Future Students:

• Are part of the community and their ID is a Synergetic community ID.
• May be created by transferring an enquiry to a future student or directly, by creating a future student through Future Student Maintenance.
• Are transferred into current students when commencing at your organisation.
