Managing Student Enrollment Pauses
The Enrollment Pause feature allows authorized users to temporarily suspend a student's active enrollment, stopping progress calculations and preventing new training sessions from being logged, while preserving all existing progress and records. This is typically used for planned breaks or when a student must temporarily halt training.
Permissions Required
Only users with the Administrator role or the Manage All Student Enrollments permission can manage enrollment pauses.
1. Pausing an Enrollment
An enrollment must be in the Enrolled status to be paused.
Step-by-Step Instructions

Enter Pause Details:
Start Date: Defaults to today's date. Adjust if the pause started on a different day.

Notes: Add any necessary context or reason for the pause (1000 character limit).
Pilot Ground (Optional): Click Select or Add Link to optionally associate the pause with a Pilot Ground record (e.g., if the pause is due to a student being temporarily grounded).
