SIS: New Online Registration Features

The following features can only be setup by OnCourse. This is typically done during implementation. However, if there is a feature that you would like but are not seeing, please contact OnCourse Support. We would be happy to get you setup.

In-Office Registration

Now, you have the option of providing guardians In-Office Registration. Guardians will come into the school and register their children in the office.

In the Office Staff view, there will be a new Blue plus button. Simply click this button to generate a daily code. This code is good for the day. Provide this code to guardians.

Using a computer in the office, guardians will go to www.oncourseconnect.com/registration/(your OnCourse district ID)

They will enter their first and last name along with the provided access code. They will be taken directly into the online registration form and can begin entering their child's information.

Student and Registration Fields

Guardians are now able to add multiple students in a single online registration sitting and then submit them all at once. Behind the scenes, your district will distinguish between Student and Registration fields. Student fields need to be filled out on each registration form. Registration fields will auto-fill when registering more than one student, making online registration easier for guardians.

Auto-filling Other Fields 

Depending on how your online registration forms have been configured by your district, your parents may see a Same As checkbox on their registration form. When this option appears, guardians simply check the box and the chosen information will be duplicated. For example, say their physical address is the same as their mailing address. They will see a Same As checkbox. If the user checks this box, information in designated fields (mailing address fields) will auto-fill secondary fields (physical address fields).  

Create Health Alert 

During setup, your district now has the ability to include a list of health alerts right in the online registration form. Guardians can check as many as are necessary. Upon approval, health alerts will automatically generate within the specified student's record. 

Require Multiple Guardians/Emergency Contacts

There is a new setting that will require parents to link multiple guardians to their child. Your district will determine the number.
