Create a New Enrolment Parent (Complex Split)

You would enter the Enrolment comprising Enrolled Parent and Student records as usual, then an additional parent record to create a Complex Split.  Refer to the 'How to handle split family arrangements' guide for a detailed definition. You then use the Addresses & Communication Rules on the enrolled student record (for each child in the family) to define:

  • The parent/guardian(s) from both the original enrolled parent and additional parent records that the student lives with

  • The parent/guardian(s) from both the original enrolled parent and additional parent records who is to be the emergency contact

  • The parent/guardian(s) from both the original enrolled parent and additional parent records who will receive correspondence generated out of TASS.web

This guide assumes that your school's address block structure adheres to the recommendations specified in the ‘Setting Up Parent Addresses in TASS.web’ guide.

Task

Determine if the 'Mother' or 'Father' is to be on the enrolled parent record (we will refer to this as the original parent record) or an additional parent record.

The original enrolled parent record is the one that will have the school fee account (when the student becomes a current student).  Therefore the person who is NOT responsible for the school fee account would be on the additional parent record.

Once the additional parent record has been created you can then incorporate a split billing arrangement if required (when the student becomes a current student).

This is the first step in creating a Complex Split family in the Enrolments module.

This guide uses the example of:

  • The father on the original enrolled parent record

  • The father's partner on the original enrolled parent record

  • The biological mother on the additional parent record.

Therefore if the record you are entering is the other way around, you need to make the appropriate adjustments when following these steps.
