Announcing SchoolMint Enroll 2.5

As of October 21, 2024, SchoolMint is excited to announce the launch of SchoolMint Enroll version 2.5! This significant update is designed to make managing student enrollment smoother and more efficient.

Whether you’re looking to streamline application and lottery management, improve the family registration/re-registration experience, or all of the above, SchoolMint Enroll 2.5 features enhancements that’ll make the enrollment process easier for everyone.

Let’s dive into some of what’s new!

Note: If you’re a current user of SchoolMint Enroll and have questions about the 2.5 release, please reach out to Technical Support or visit Zendesk for the full release notes, walkthrough presentation, and self-help articles.

1. Application and Registration Linking

In SchoolMint Enroll 2.5, managing student data from application and lottery to registration is much easier.

This new enrollment software update allows you to follow a student from application to registration — linking the two enrollment processes so that you don’t have to manually track which applications haven’t moved into your student registration process!

• Filter out applications that haven’t moved to registration
• Be notified when an application status changes
• Keep all student data organized from start to finish
• Help your enrollment team save time and minimize enrollment errors

2. Program Selection Enhancements

Need to add or change a program on a submitted application? We’ve made it easy in this version update.

In SchoolMint Enroll 2.5, you can:

• Ensure every application is complete and ready for processing
• Reduce the back-and-forth with families
• Speed up your overall enrollment workflow

When a guardian or administrator enters the application to make additional program selections — or remove a prior selection — users must rank all choices (old and new) against each other. When the new rankings are updated, the user will be taken to the choice ranking step of the application where the updated rankings are displayed.

And if the guardian or administrator missed a field, no worries: SchoolMint Enroll will require the user to fill out any missing information before they can proceed.

The result? Happier families, happier enrollment staff, and better enrollment data.

3. More Flexible Field Settings

SchoolMint Enroll 2.5 features an improvement to the Required field settings, giving admins and guardians distinct field requirements.

Before, if a field was required, it applied to both groups — but not anymore! Now the two settings are distinct from each other and can be set separately, as seen below:

This gives you greater flexibility in form-building, which means your team can fine-tune the enrollment process, resulting in cleaner, more accurate data collection and a better experience for all users.

4. Email and SMS Notification Improvements

Here’s a total understatement: communication with families is essential, especially during enrollment season.

That’s why, in SchoolMint Enroll 2.5, we’ve made enhancements to email and text templates, including an improvement to the Forgot Password SMS system that prevents the reset-password URL from breaking.

5. Global Database Tables Converted to Annual Tables

With SchoolMint Enroll 2.5, several data elements will now allow users to make changes in one year (annual behavior) without having those changes flow across all years (global behavior).

This allows configurations to be unique per year to accommodate managing multiple enrollment years that are open concurrently yet need to behave differently.

These data elements include:

• School groups
• Eligibility rules
• Flag types
• Dynamic views
• Lottery designs, priorities, and setup
• Email/text templates and customizable translations

6. Additional Maintenance Items

From updated saved views to improved filtering on promoted and retained students, version 2.5 is packed with features that help keep your enrollment process running smoothly.

These maintenance updates aren’t flashy, but they improve the reliability of the entire SchoolMint Enroll system — helping enrollment teams benefit from a more efficient, accurate student enrollment management experience and families benefit from easier, quicker enrollment.
