Enrollment - UDM v3.0

The Enrollment domain model supports cases in which a student is limited to enrollment in only one school at a time as well as cases in which a state may have policies supporting multiple school enrollments. The semantics assume that a student is withdrawn in the previous grade level and enrolled in the next grade level when promoted.

Key Entities

This domain contains:

The StudentSchoolAssociation entity, which represents students’ enrollments in schools.
A separate StudentSchoolAssociation entity for each grade level for each student.

Key Concepts

The key concepts include the following:

During enrollment at a school, a student may have associations (e.g., accountability, funding, etc.) with other education organizations at any institutional level.
Some student characteristics may be specific to a student's relationship with a particular education organization. Often, this data is a result of evaluations administered by Local Education Agencies and therefore may have different values if the student is enrolled at more than one Local Education Agency.
A few elements that some external systems may model as directly related to a Student entity (e.g., a child's school year) are placed instead on the StudentSchoolAssociation entity (which signifies enrollment).
For associations between a student and a school or local education agency that is not enrollment (e.g., school of accountability), the StudentEducationOrganizationAssociation entity is defined.
