Student movement between classes should be explicit and validated.

​
Capabilities

This workflow supports:
  • student class updates
  • section reassignment
  • class-section validation
  • downstream academic consistency

​
Change rules

When updating a student’s current class and section:
  • a global section can stay attached
  • a class-bound section must match the selected class
If the section does not match, the operation should be corrected before save.

​
Why this matters

Allowing mismatched class and section data creates downstream problems in:
  • annual academic records
  • filtered views
  • promotions
  • any UI that assumes section context is valid for the class

​
UI guidance

Where possible, show section options with class context so operators can see when a section is bound to a specific class.

​
Change a placement

  1. Find the student in the active or inactive list.
  2. Open Change Student Class.
  3. Select the destination class.
  4. Select a general section or one belonging to that class.
  5. Save and verify the student’s row and academic context.
If the current section becomes incompatible after changing the class, choose a valid replacement or leave the section empty. Do not preserve a mismatched section merely to retain its label.
