Features of this form

Upon entering the form or entering a new record, the course enquiry button is available. This allows the user to find a matching course using the Find Course form (ADMF1220), before entering personal details.

An administrative check is performed for each enquirer to ensure they do not have an administrative or disciplinary encumbrance. This does not prevent the enquiry being registered, but does act as a warning.

For further details on recording admission enquiries, refer to the Understanding Admissions overview.

Session Details The session details screen is displayed on the first occasion on which a user accesses the record admission enquiry function. On subsequent occasions, the previously selected session details appear. The Session Details block is minimised and displayed along the top of the form. If it is necessary to change any of the preset details, selecting the Alter Session button maximises the facility. The session details screen is used to select: The academic calendar in which the enquiry is registered. The admission period in which the enquiry is registered. Selecting these parameters ensures that the course offering patterns displayed are for the correct academic period.
Recording Person Details Record personal details for the enquirer and Save. An ID number is automatically assigned to the enquirer. This number remains with the enquirer throughout their relationship with the institution. If a person with matching details already exists in Callista, the user receives a warning prior to record being saved. Records for people already known to Callista can be queried and displayed by either executing a query using ID number or name or using the Find Person button and form.
