Transferring a group of current students to past students

Use this program to transfer a group of current students to the Past Students constituency. Before running this program:

Ensure that students who are staying have been transferred into the next semester (next year). See Updating the status of current students in the Curriculum or Next near process manual.
Determine whether the peer year is based on the student's entry date rather than the leaving year and YearsUntilGraduation fields. See UseEntryDate configuration setting in the System maintenance manual.
Verify that the luYearLevel lookup table is correct if it is used (refer to the previous bullet point). Check that the YearsUntilGraduation field is correct for a given year. For example the Year 12 value should be zero for Australia and the Year 13 value should be zero for New Zealand. See luYearLevel lookup table in the System maintenance or Next year process manual.

Synergetic selects the students to transfer from those students that have either:

not been transferred into the next semester of next year
with a leaving date before the date specified in the selection window.
Note: You can transfer past students back to current students. Check the transferred records, as some fields may not be restored.
