Student Statuses & Colors

You can use the Student Statuses & Colors tab from Status Changes page to:

  • Add or edit the student statuses

  • Edit the color to emphasize the status category of the current student

Prerequisites

You must have System - Settings - Manage authorization.

To edit an item associated with more than one campus, you must have access to all the campuses. For example, if the item is configured to be available at three campuses and you only have access to two of the campuses, you can view the item but cannot edit it. When you add an item, you can only select campuses to which you have access.

You should also be familiar with the Background for Status Changes.

Access Method

Select the Settings tile > expand System > select Status Changes.

Procedure to Add or Edit Items

  1. Select the Student Statuses & Colors tab.

    Status DescriptionClosed The detailed description provided by your institution for the student status.

    Status Represents a Title IV WithdrawalClosed At some institutions, students who are no longer attending classes are left in an Active/Attending status so that they can still log into the Student Portal. In this scenario, the “Status Represents a Title IV Withdrawal” check box can be selected to indicate that the status represents a withdrawal for Title IV purposes. If this attribute is selected, the Status Change process will treat a status change from an Active status to the new Active status with the Title IV withdrawal attribute as if the status change was from Active to Drop for purposes of determining the NSLDS Withdrawal Date, Date of Determination, and other downstream impacts to Financial Aid, Student Accounts, and other reporting (such as enrollment reporting and Clearinghouse). This check box is displayed only when Attending is selected for System Status and Withdrawn is selected for NSLDS Status.

    System StatusClosed The status of the system. For additional information about system statuses, refer to the background information for status changes.

Configure a Student Status for Withdrawn with Ability to Register

You can configure a student status that reports the student as withdrawn, but keeps the student active so that they can log into Student Portal to register for courses. When an active student is changed to this school status, Anthology Student will treat the status change as an official or unofficial withdrawal in the appropriate locations. For example, in:

  • Determining the NSLDS Withdrawal Date and Date of Determination
  • Financial Aid (such as canceling any future aid)
  • Student Accounts (such as refund calculations)
  • Reporting (such as enrollment reporting and Clearinghouse)

The student will still be able to log into Student Portal to register.

To configure the status, you must select:

  • Attending for System Status
  • Withdrawn for NSLDS Status
  • The Status Represents a Title IV Withdrawal check box

Example

The example shows a student status of withdrawn with ability to register.
