URGENT: Complete End Enrollments          24-25 School Year*

Phase I

In closing out the 2024–25 school year and preparing for 2025–26, all users must immediately complete end-of-year (EOY) processing to ensure accurate student data and avoid disruptions.

DPI has identified that some PSUs have missing or incomplete end date and end status fields in their enrollment records for the 2024–25 school year. NCDPI has provided a Validation Report to assist users on identifying student enrollment records that will need to be updated. 

The (NC) EOY Enrollment Verification Report consists of two reports, one that provides students with missing end dates and one that provides students with missing end statuses. A PSU running the validation must be in the 24-25 School Year/Calendar when generating the reports. 

Priority 1

Fix End Dates - (NC) Enrollments w/ No End Date - Should be completed by EOD July 11, 2025

Priority 2

Fix End Status - (NC) Enrollments w/ No End Status - Should be completed by EOD July 11, 2025

Additional Information

• Complete the above Priority 1 and 2 before withdrawing students for the upcoming school year.
  • Before releasing a student to a new PSU or School: 
    • 24-25 enrollment record must be updated with the proper end date and end status 
    • 25-26 enrollment record must be updated to a 7/1 entry and end dates with a W1 end status and the No Show checkbox checked

• For cross-enrolled students (X1) students on the validation report, the cross-enrollment record should have an end date of the last day of the course with a W1 end status.
• No Show records with a missing end date and/or end status will be corrected by NCDPI. No Show records do not display in the validations.
• When ending enrollments, be sure to be in the 24-25 School Year/Calendar and to use the appropriate local end status:
  • PR – Promoted
  • RT – Retained

• Please Do NOT use W1 or W2 as an end status for a student that completed the year. The only exception is the students in the Homeless Program calendar should have an end status of W1. 

Thank you for your attention to this important task and for your continued partnership.

If you have questions, please join us during EOY Office Hours. See Eventbrite for links to daily support hours.

SIS EOY Timeline SY 24-25*

Phase I & II

Please review the detailed timeline of key activities by selecting the appropriate link below:

• NCSIS Phase I (Infinite Campus)   
• Phase II (PowerSchool) 

The Phase II timeline includes the status of key tasks and identifies items that will be added by NCDPI after End-of-Year (EOY) processing is complete. While these tasks apply to Phase II PSUs, Phase I PSUs may also view this information for awareness.

Students currently enrolled in an NC Public School cannot be pre-registered or enrolled until July 7, 2025.

Enrollments in Infinite Campus FOR ALL PSUs will need to stop by COB on 6/26/2025 and cannot be performed while the sync from PSU sites to the State Edition site is completed.  The sync is expected to be completed by 7/7/2025.

For both Phase I and Phase II PSUs, DO NOT ENROLL students or transfer records until state syncing is complete (ETA July 7) to ensure the student records transfer functions appropriately and duplicates are not created. 

Completion of the sync will be communicated from NC DPI.  At that time you will be able to resume enrolling students.

Your support and collaboration are greatly appreciated as we prepare for this unique EOY. If you have any questions or need assistance during the process, please don’t hesitate to contact your Professional Learning Team Consultant.

Events & Actions in Infinite Campus - Statewide Planning & PSU Input Needed

Phase I & II

Events & Actions in Infinite Campus serve as automated prompts to notify staff when key changes occur—such as new student enrollments, schedule changes, or student withdrawals—that require timely attention. These triggers are configured to help improve communication and coordination among staff.

In addition to notifications, Events & Actions can also be used to automate data entry, such as populating specific fields based on a user's response or a change in another field. This functionality supports efficiency, consistency, and accuracy across student records by reducing the need for manual updates and ensuring timely data alignment.

NCDPI is currently developing a guidance document outlining the Events & Actions that have been created—and those that are planned—for statewide implementation. As part of this effort, we are seeking input from PSUs to better understand what additional Events & Actions would be helpful.

Please complete the survey below to share which event types and actions your PSU would find beneficial. Your feedback will help guide future statewide configurations:

Events & Actions Survey

Thank you for your participation and continued partnership!
