There may be times when you want to re-enroll a student in a dropped course in Genius. If you drop a student from courses in Genius and then re-enroll them, please be aware of the following consequences.
CONSEQUENCES WHEN RE-ENROLLING A STUDENT INSTEAD OF HAVING THE STUDENT REINSTATED
When you drop a student from a Schoology course and later re-enroll them:
The student's account is moved to the Schoology course's Inactive Member list.
The eAcademy staff must manually re-enroll the student in the course after we are contacted by a student or teacher via the Help Desk.
The running grade-to-date will no longer appear in the student's Genius account. Schoology does not support two enrollments for the same course for the same student.
Your district may incur a charge for the additional enrollment.
A BETTER OPTION
When students are REINSTATED in a course (rather than re-enrolled), their student accounts are automatically moved from the Inactive Member list to the Active Member list in the Schoology course. Additionally, the student's running grade-to-date will appear in their Genius account. Finally, your district will not incur a charge for the additional enrollment.
YOUR TASK
Request that a student be reinstated to the courses - DO NOT re-enroll students in their courses in Genius.
Please submit a help desk ticket and request that the student be reinstated in any desired courses that were previously dropped. List the specific courses you want for the student.
This retains any graded work the student completed and ensures a seamless transition back into the Schoology course. Also, there will be no additional charge if you have a student reinstated in a course.
