The Batch Program Assignment Tool adds, deletes or modifies the selected flag, graduation program, academic program, program or program with sessions to (or from) the selected students’ Flags, Programs (Student Information > Academic Planning), or Programs (Student Information > General) tools.

Students receiving a flag, graduation program, academic program, program assignment or program session are chosen by using filters or by selecting students using the batch add option. The selected flag, program or academic program is assigned as of the entered start date. A student can have multiple assignments of any program type other than graduation. Students are allowed only one graduation program assignment. If the student already has a graduation program assigned to them, it is overwritten when a new assignment is made.

Batch Program Assignment Tool

When assigning programs, students must meet the requirements of the program. For example, students assigned to a graduation program must have the appropriate cohort start and end year information associated with the selected graduation program.

Batch Program Assignment Tool Editor

The following table defines the options available on the Batch Program Assignment Tool.

Option	Definition
Select Type	This is a list of flags, graduation programs, academic programs, and other programs and related program sessions that can be assigned to students or non-students through the Census Program Participation tools. Graduation and academic programs are labeled as such.
Select Program Required	Indicates the program that is being assigned. The list of programs is pulled from the Programs tool. This list includes inactive programs as well as active programs. Only programs that do not have program sessions are listed here. When assigning Programs, Program Sessions, Graduation Programs and Academic Programs, only programs that are marked as District Wide and those programs linked to the calendar selected in the toolbar are available for selection. When assigning flags, all flags are available.
Display Sessions Occurring in Selected Calendar	Indicates which Program Sessions display for student assignment. When marked, only those sessions occurring within the date range of the selected calendar in the Campus toolbar are available. When not marked, all program sessions display in the Selected Program Sessions dropdown. Active program sessions display at the top of the list; inactive program sessions display in red font. This only applies to Program Sessions.
Select Program Session Required	Indicates the session of the selected program that is being assigned. Only programs that are marked for Program Sessions are listed here. This field only displays when the Select Type field is set to Program Session.
Select Mode	Indicates whether the flag or program is being assigned (Add Participation), removed (Delete Participation) or modified (Edit Participation). When editing program participation, existing data can also be modified (when the Overwrite Existing Data checkbox is marked).
Start Date Required	Entered date is the start date of the selected program or flag, or when the student is first enrolled/assigned in the program or program session. Dates are entered in mmddyy format, or use the calendar icon to select a date. This is required when adding program participation (but not when deleting or editing)
End Date	Entered date is the end date of the selected program or flag, or when the student ends enrollment/assignment in the program or program session. Dates are entered in mmddyy format, or use the calendar icon to select a date.
Exit Reason	Selection indicates the reason the student is ending participation in the program. These are assigned on the student's Program Participation tool and options are created in the Attribute Dictionary.
Status	Selection indicates the student's status in the Program Session. These are assigned on the student's Program Participation tool and options are created in the Attribute Dictionary.
Select Filter At least one type of filter field needs to be populated.
Grades	Students in the selected grade levels will have flag or academic programs added, deleted or edited. Enter a grade level in the field to see matching results, or click in the field to choose from the available options.
Ad hoc Filter	When selected, a list of available ad hoc filters will display that will further narrow the list of students available. This field can be used in addition to the grade level selection or instead of the grade level selection. Only those students included in the filter have programs added, deleted or modified.
Scheduling Group/Team(s)	When selected, only those students assigned to the selected scheduling group are assigned the program, have the program deleted, or have their program assignment modified.
Batch Add Hand-select students for program assignments without needing to create an ad hoc filter. This option functions much like the Ad hoc Selection Editor functionality.
Quick Search	Enter or select data to return a list of matching student names. Use one or all of the available fields: Active today - Choose Yes (all active students as of the current date), No (all inactive students as of the current date), or Both (all active and inactive students as of the current date). Inactive students display in the Student List in red text, indicating their enrollment has ended (enrollment record for the selection school/year has an end date entered). Grade - Choose a specific grade level from the dropdown list. Only grades in the selected school are available for selection. Or, leave this set to All. Name - Enter the student's last name or part of the last name, and the student's first name or part of the first name. Use a comma to separate the last and first name. Entering "and" returns students whose last names begin with "and"; entering :"and, isa" returns students whose last name begins with "and" and whose first name begins with "isa." Sort - Determine how the list of students is sorted. Choose by Grade, Name (numerically by grade level, then alphabetically by last name), or by Name (alphabetically by last name). The list of students below the Quick Search changes to only show those students who match the entered Quick Search criteria.
Student List	Instead of using the Quick Search fields, manually choose the students to include in the report by selecting the student names in the All Students list, then click the right-facing arrow. Their names move to the Selected Students column on the right. The students in the Selected Students list will have program information added, deleted or edited. Remove selected students from the right hand column by clicking the left-facing arrow. The student name returns to the All Students column.

The Editor also displays Summary information that lists the selected programs and related data as it is selected.

Batch Program Assignment Tool - Program Session Summary Information

Program Session Dates: When assigning program sessions, the entered start and end dates must be within the selected program session start and end dates.

Max Participants: When enrollment in a program session meets the entered Max Participant number, a pop-up message displays. Additional students can still be added to the program session, but be aware the enrollment has exceeded the entered value.

Graduation Programs: When assigning graduation programs, a warning message displays indicating any graduation program already assigned to a student will be overwritten with the new program. A student can only be assigned one graduation program at a time.

Depending on the amount of students selected when managing programs, the process to add or delete programs may take some time. Please be patient and wait for the confirmation that programs have been modified. Also consider choosing a smaller set of students.
