Duplicate Enrollment Records

To this page:

To assist in reconciling any duplicate enrollment records, two special operations are available to help database administrators manage these records by deleting duplicates, and merging attendance data where necessary. Because the special operations involve removing duplicate data from the database, it is highly recommended that you make a backup before running the special operation.

Reconcile Duplicate Enrollments

Many duplicate enrollment records are exact matches, which can be automatically reconciled without any user input. A duplicate enrollment occurs when a student is enrolled in a section more than once, where the section ID and the enroll and exit dates are exactly the same for two or more different records. Use the Auto-Fix Duplicate CC Enrollments operation to automatically reconcile exact duplicate enrollments district-wide.

1. On the start page, choose System under Setup in the main menu.
2. Under Data Management, click Special Operations. 
3. From the Operation pop-up menu, choose Auto-Fix Duplicate CC Enrollments.
4. Click Submit. 
5. To reconcile remaining duplicate records that were not exact matches, use the Select Students with Overlapping CC Enrollments operation.

Reconcile Overlapping Enrollments

To reconcile overlapping enrollments district-wide, you can use the Select Students with Overlapping CC Enrollments operation. An overlapping enrollment occurs when a student is enrolled in a section more than once, where the section ID is an exact match and the enroll and exit dates overlap for two or more different records.

1. On the start page, choose System under Setup in the main menu.
2. Under Data Management, click Special Operations.
