Registration Clearance Block and List
Important
Information and features vary according to the roles to which you belong and the permissions associated with those roles. For more information, contact your module manager or your campus support team.
The registrar's office uses the Registration Clearance Block and the Registration Clearance List to clear students to register.
The Block
The Registration Clearance block is on the Registration Operations hub. When you select a year/term, you see the first five of the students (sorted alphabetically) who are waiting for clearance. You can view their academic plans or jump to their summary pages. You can clear students on the block or on the full list.

The View all waiting for clearance link opens the full list.
The List
On the list, records appear 15 to a page, but you can click Show all to see all records at once. To search for students, enter any consecutive letters in a student's name in the filter field.

Students who are off their academic plan are marked, and their Clear to Register button is amber as a caution, but you can still clear them. A pop-up asks you to confirm granting clearance.
You can jump to a student's summary page or to their academic plan. You can also sort the list by the column headings.
