MyEducation BC – Lesson # 3
Registering Students / Updating Student Information / Withdrawing a Student
Restrictive Query for Student
For this lesson you will not be able to run a restrictive query or enroll a sibling because the data in the training
database is not “real”. Register a “new” student following the steps in the wizard as outlined below.
The first step when registering a student is to see if they are already in MyEd.
From the Student top-tab select the Options menu then Registration – Register Student.
This will start the student registration wizard.
1
Enter ONLY the legal last name, gender and birthdate (same as a restrictive query in BCeSIS) and click Next.
Registration of a new
family member is
discussed later in this
lesson.
If a student with the same surname and gender and a birthdate within 45 days was found in another MyEd
school you will see a list like the one shown below. If the correct student is in the list, select the student and
click OK.
If a similar student is not found, or if you click the Cancel button, you will see the screen to register a student
new to MyEd (step 2 of the Registration Wizard).
2
Fields marked with a red asterisk are required. Enter all the student information you have.
Phone numbers should be entered in this format: 250-123-1234.
You MUST select the Calendar for each student. The ONLY choice is Standard (if you type this in you must us a capital S).
Click Next.
Note: During the 2014-2015 transition the
student may have been in a school using
BCeSIS. The basic information on all
BCeSIS students has been copied into
MyEd, so you should find the student in
MyEd. It is important to communicate
with the previous school as they also need
to withdraw the student from BCeSIS.
Otherwise the student will be registered in
both systems and everyone will be
confused. If you have problems with this,
contact the IT Help Desk.
Click the Address Tab to enter address information.
When entering addresses it is important
to follow the Canada Post conventions otherwise two addresses that should be
the same (i.e. for siblings) may not match
because of slight differences.
Some common errors are:


Enter City (space) Prov (space) PostalCode (no
commas, periods etc)
Using Road, Street or Avenue
instead of Rd, St or Ave
Not putting a space in the middle
of the postal code

By clicking the … on the left of the magnifying
glass you will be taken to BC Address
Components dialog boxes where you can also
enter address information (shown below)

RR Number / PO Box dialog box:
Enter the RR Number / PO Box and click OK
PO BOX must be in all caps
City Prov PC dialog box:

If you see this warning:

Step 3 of the Wizard – calculate the Year of Graduation for the student (YOG).
Enter the Year of Graduation (based on the chart below). Grade Level will populate automatically. Enter the
Date (date of admission), Code (where from) and Reason (why attending). Click on the magnifying glass for a list
of choices available. Click Next when finished.
