Rule: Students With Missing Enrollment Start Status
Summary
This validation identifies students whose enrollment does not have a Start Status.
The Start Status identifies how the student entered or re-entered the school during the current school year. Review the student's enrollment records to determine the appropriate enrollment code.
Severity
FATAL
What to Review
For each student reported in the validation, review the applicable enrollment and the student's current-year enrollment records.
- Search for the student.
- Open Student Information > General > Enrollments.
- Select the enrollment record missing the Start Status.
- Locate the General Enrollment Information section.
- Review Local Start Status.
- Review the student's previous enrollments during the current school year, when applicable.
- Determine how the student entered or re-entered the school.
Use School Attendance and Student Accounting (SASA) Manual to determine the appropriate enrollment code based on the student's current year enrollment history.

Recommended Action
If Local Start Status is blank:
- Review the student's current year enrollment records.
- Determine the appropriate code according to the SASA Manual.
- Open the applicable enrollment record.
- Correct the Start Status. Ensure all other enrollment information is correct.
- Select Save.

Important: Do not select a Start Status only to clear the validation. The enrollment code must accurately reflect how the student entered or re-entered the school during the current school year.
Verify the Correction
- Rerun the applicable PMR FATAL Validations.
- Confirm that the student no longer appears in the FATAL-11 after the appropriate Start Status has been entered.
- Continue reviewing any remaining FATAL validation results.
