Enrollments

The tables and notes listed below are suggestions as individual CAMS implementations may vary.

CAMS enrollment records typically require two unioned queries to capture the following situations: students who have enrolled in a section (stored on SRAcademic), students who have enrolled in and dropped a section (stored on DropBag), and students who have enrolled, dropped, and re-enrolled in a section (stored on both SRAcademic and DropBag). Both queries must use both tables to fully capture the latter case, comparing add and withdraw dates between the tables to select the most current record.
