Cross Entity Course Enrollment

Yanira Benavides & Julie JuneauPEARLAND ISD

CECE – Cross Entity Cross Enrollment

OVERVIEW• The purpose of Cross Entity Enrollment (CECE) is to allow students from multiple

campuses to be enrolled into a single class section. Teachers have one gradebook

and one attendance roster for each course/class section regardless of the students’

home campus.

HOME COURSES, AWAY COURSES & CECE Class Sections• HOME COURSES – are the courses that are offered at a campus and made available

for students enrolled at any campus but that can come to take the course/class.

• AWAY COURSES- these are linked to the HOME COURSES and are in the course

master of the campus the student is enrolled in.

• CECE CLASS SECTIONS – Sections from the HOME COURSES that coded as “Allow

Cross-Entity Enrollment” to be able to enrolled students from another campus

THINGS TO CONSIDER• Student Entry/Withdraw records remain at their home campuses

• HOME COURSES should be setup first and needs to be coded as HOME course.• After the HOME Course is setup at the “host” campus, is time to add the AWAY

courses.

• When trying to link AWAY courses with HOME Courses – the course length must match with the home course, otherwise the home course won't be recognized.

• Home Course Sections need to be coded as “Allow Cross Entity” in order for those class sections to appear at the AWAY entity course.

• We prefer for the Bell Schedule/Number of periods to be the same at the entities where HOME and AWAY Courses will be linked. It is possible to have one campus in a regular bell schedule and another in a block bell schedule but the process will be more complicated.

• Course Key at the AWAY campus –might be different to easily identify courses and do the proper setup – curriculum number must stay the same.

• Recommendation is to have all of the CECE setup prior to scheduling students at either entity if at all possible

CECE DISTRICT CONFIGURATION

• Turn on CECE at District level under the student configuration PATH: PS\CA\DS\CF\STPRODUCT SETUP|SKYWARD CONTACT ACCESS|DISTRICT SETUP|CONFIGURATION|STUDENT CONFIGURATION

CECE ENTITY CONFIGURATION

• Verify Entity configuration for each entity that will allow cross enrollment PATH: WS\OF\CS\PS\CF\SEOFFICE|CURRENT SCHEDULING|SETUP|CONFIGURATION|SCHEDULING ENTITY YEAR SETUP

• Expand appropriate school year, expand the ENTITY YEAR OPTIONS area.

• Click on EDIT ENTITY YEAR OPTIONS• Select the “Allow Cross Entity Course Enrollment”

checkbox and click SAVE

SCHEDULING CONFIGURATION OPTIONS*Options can be changed at one entity but it would take effect district wide

• Would you like to Limit the number of students enrolling from the AWAY campus at the HOME Courses?

• Would you like for the Class meets records of the HOME COURSES to automatically be created at the AWAY campus?

These two options are located under: WS\OF\CS\PS\CF\SCOFFICE|CURRENT SCHEDULING|SETUP|CONFIGURATION|SCHEDULING CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

NOTE: If campuses are in a different bell schedule, we

recommend for the “Automatically Create Class Meet

records on Cross Entity Away Courses” to be turned off. That

way the away campus can edit the class period if necessary.
