Configure student enrollment in a program's sessions
During Year-End Processing [>>] on a system that employs program management [>>], PowerSchool SMS ends all program sessions at the end of the school year (a program session cannot cross calendar years). For each active program session, PowerSchool SMS creates a new program session in the Planning Calendar. The District Administrator configures if and how students who were enrolled in the active program session are enrolled in the new session.

Roll existing applicants: When this option is set, for each applicant for a program session, PowerSchool SMS creates an application for the new program session. This option is available only if either "Create session/roll students as participants" or "Create session/roll students as applicants" is selected for the Planning Calendar Option. Where PowerSchool SMS rolls participants as applicants, it creates two queues: "Participants rolled as applicants" and "applicants". PowerSchool SMS copies the students from both queues to the new session's applicant queue and clears their eligibility status. |

Planning calendar "Requested School" controlled by Program Management: Applies only on a system where school enrollment is controlled by the program. When this option is set, PowerSchool SMS prevents users from changing a student's requested school. Instead, a student's requested school is the school associated with the program. This setting has no effect on a student who is in a graduating grade (that is, a user can change the requested school). This setting is not relevant to a program that allows general entry into a school, that is, the program has no eligibility criteria or capacity limits. |

PowerSchool SMS applies the Planning Calendar Option settings the first time the Update_Next_Year_Students nightly process is run (during which PowerSchool SMS adjusts enrollment records based on changes to student status made during the day). During subsequent nightly processes, PowerSchool SMS does not update existing sessions. |
Option: Create session and roll students as participants
When this option is set, during the Update_Next_Year_Students nightly process, PowerSchool SMS creates a new session in the Planning Calendar and enrolls in the new session the active session participants. PowerSchool SMS also clears the student's calculated eligibility status. Exceptions include:
|
=
|
A program participant in the graduating grade level for the school. PowerSchool SMS does not enroll this student in the school nor in the new program session.
|
|
=
|
At a school that employs controlled enrollment, for each active session participant PowerSchool SMS creates an application for the new program session. The student's calculated eligibility status is cleared. The student must re-enroll in the school before they can be enrolled in the program.

Where the program controls enrollment at the school and district approval is required for out-of-zone enrollments and an approved address exception record is not entered in the Planning Calendar for this enrollment, PowerSchool SMS withdraws the student from the school and enrolls the student in the his or her zoned school [see Specifying a student's school of enrollment for the next year >>].
Where the program controls enrollment at the school and the district approves an address exception for an out-of-zone enrollment and that approved address exception record is recorded in the Planning Calendar for this enrollment, the student must apply to and be accepted into a controlled-enrollment program at the school. Then a School Administrator must enroll the student [>>].
Where the program does not control enrollment at the school and the student is enrolled in another program that controls enrollment at that school in the Planning Calendar, PowerSchool SMS creates a participant record for this
program in the Planning Calendar. PowerSchool SMS keeps the student enrolled in the school and sets his or her grade level normally.
Where the program does not control enrollment at the school and the student is not enrolled in another program that controls enrollment at that school, PowerSchool SMS withdraws the student from the school and enrolls the student in his or her Zoned School.
