All School Administrator/Secretaries:
Due to the large number of duplicate student records that are inadvertently being created in MyEdBC, Fujitsu has provided some recommendations for registering students using the Registration Wizard in MyEdBC:
- Do not use the first name in the restrictive query. Leave this first field blank
- Use the Legal Last Name only in the restrictive query (Step 1) of the Registration Wizard. Ensure you are taking the Legal Last Name from either a Birth Certificate or other approved legal document
- Choose the gender from the drop-down, do not try to free-form type in the field.
- Type in the date of birth in this format only: Example: 15-Mar-2009
- Date format: DD-MMM-YYYY or DD MMM YYYY, the hyphens are optional.
- Watch that this date does not change if you use the tab key to move to next field.
- Do not use the date-pick calendar as there appears to be some issues associated with its use at this time.
- Date format: DD-MMM-YYYY or DD MMM YYYY, the hyphens are optional.
Where possible, ask questions of the parent when a new student is registering at your school. For example, ask if their child has ever been enrolled or registered in a school in British Columbia. This is especially important if they have an out-of-province Birth Certificate. This information will give you an idea of what results you will expect to see when using the Registration Wizard.
