Handling Suspended Students

By Paolo Dona — Mar 30, 2010

Beginning today, we are implementing a slight change to how suspended students are handled in the class registers.
A student is suspended when, while enrolled in a class, he has agreed to not attend lessons between two given dates.

Until now, suspended students were listed in the class register like normal students, to ensure they were clearly enrolled in school, though not permitted to attend classes temporarily.

This was the initial intended proctice, but it proved to be confusing. Teachers tended to mark those students as absent, and receptionists could be misled when seeing the same students in the class register.

Clearly, some redesigning was necessary to resolve the confusion.

From now on, suspensions will show up in the class register screen, but will be listed at the bottom of the page in a clearly separate list.

Likewise, the enrolment count in the class list page won’t include the suspended users, so that you always know whether there is currently room for more people in the class.

Furthermore, the printed register has been updated and will not include suspended students.

These changes should help to clarify the effect of suspending a student on the class register and give you have a better picture of your class status.
Hope you enjoy the update!
