Cross-enrolling students whose primary schools do not use Aspen

Students whose primary schools do not use Aspen might want to take classes or receive services (cross-enroll) at schools in your district. These students must first be enrolled into a "holding" school.

After the district creates a holding school, it designates the school as such via its Membership preferences.

To create a "holding" school:

1. Log on to the District view.
2. Click the District tab, Schools side-tab.
3. Select Options > Add. The School Details page appears.
4. Enter any school details to identify this as the holding school.
5. Click Save.

A school registrar can then enroll students into the holding school using the Student Registration wizard (by selecting the holding school at the School > Name field in step 3). The student’s enrollment status will be Active No Primary once the record is saved.

After the student is enrolled in the holding school, the school registrar can then cross-enroll the student into the secondary school via Create Secondary School Associations.
