Student Status
General Information
Student statuses indicate different stages a student may go through during their enrollment. For example, students will have different statuses when they are actively enrolled, taking a break, or graduated from a program. The student status determines what actions they are able to take and what options are available on their portal (i.e. whether a student can register, graduate, reenroll, etc.).
While a student has only one status at a time, they do have an individual status for each program version that they have participated in (to learn more about program versions, see: Degree Program Audit). The student status is set by the program version status with the most relevance, which is determined by a status hierarchy. This means that if the student has multiple program versions, the program version status with the lowest value in the hierarchy will determine the student’s overall status. See a simplified status hierarchy key below:
student status | Hierarchy value |
---|---|
Active | 1 |
Leave | 2 |
Admitted | 3 |
Graduated/Program Complete | 4 |
Withdrawn | 5 |
No Show/Cancel/Non-Start | 6 |
Note: The above hierarchy does not contain all possible statuses.
To illustrate how student statuses work, if a student is actively enrolled in multiple program versions but chooses to withdraw from one of them (value of 5), they will remain active because their other program versions are still active (value of 1).
