The school maintenance area allows you to easily edit the properties of a school in the system. You can use this tool to enable/disable a school on the website, and edit the detailed information for a school. |
Populating Schools Data
The schools that are listed in Manage Schools are synchronized with the back office District your application processing system during the Integration Process. All active schools in your application processing system will be available once synchronization occurs; however, only the presence of the school in the list is controlled in this fashion. In order for a school to show up as available for an applicant to use it must be present in School Maintenance and marked as active.
From the MySchoolApps homepage, click on Manage Schools or click Schools at the top of the site window.
Edit a School
A school's zip code and status can be edited. The zip code is imported as the zip code entered in Franklin or MSA Client system settings. You may choose to enter a specific zip code for each school to assist end-users with locating the correct school. Take care when changing a school's status as the school may not appear on the list of available schools for end-users.
Altering School Zipcodes
If you have chosen to alter a school's zip code, you should do so at the beginning of the year prior to accepting applications. If you change the zip code and Upload Schools from Franklin or MSA Client, the zipcodes will be overwritten to the District system-defined zipcode.
Select the school you wish to edit in the Manage School window by clicking on the name of the school.
Make changes to the school's information. Then, click Update.
Zipcode - Enter the zip code of the selected school.
Status - Use the drop-down menu to select a status.
Active - The school is active in Franklin/MSA client and MySchoolApps and is available for the end-user to select.
Disabled - The school is disabled in MySchoolApps and is not available for the end-user to select.
Inactive - The school is inactive or does not exist in Franklin/MSA client and is not available for the end-user.
Disable a School
If you do not want a school or the list of schools to display to the end-user, you may choose to disable the school.
