Local School Responsibilities:

 School registrars and other school staff who perform registration duties should be processing applications and enrolling students daily. The steps for processing Annual Verification applications are the same as for processing New Student Registration applications. To see your school’s applications, log into Infinite Campus, and go to Staff Processing. Once there, ensure your school is selected, and click the “Search Applications” button. When the results appear, you will be able to differentiate between existing and new student applications by looking at the “Status” and “Type” columns:  

•  Annual Verification (existing student) applications will have a status of Submitted-Existing and a type of Portal - Annual Update. 
•  New Student Registration applications of will have a status of Submitted-New and a type of New.

 If a parent/guardian contacts your school with registration concerns, you can check the application status in Infinite Campus and also check the comments section for any relevant information. 

 Support Tickets: For timely resolutions to registration application issues, please submit a Help Desk Ticket in Incident IQ so that it can be routed to the appropriate team/person for handling.  

 OLR Call Center: During peak registration times, please be patient, as call wait times can be extreme. Thank you for your understanding!
