July 2026
Section drop and withdraw dates in the course sections report
Improvement · Available now
The course sections report now includes four new columns: Drop Start Date, Drop End Date, Withdraw Start Date and Withdraw End Date, taken from the dates set on each section. If your college sets deadlines section by section rather than relying on the term defaults, you can now review them across a whole term in one place. Sections with no dates set leave the columns blank.
Workflow Action Policies now cover drop and withdraw
Improvement · Available now
Your college's workflow action policies can now govern every registration action: Drop, Withdraw, and their reversals join Abandon and Force Complete. DualEnroll also now blocks force-completing a registration whose credit card payment hasn't finished processing, so a payment can't be left uncollected.
See: Manage Workflow Action Policies · Understanding Workflow Action Policies
Email now required for all new accounts
Improvement · Available now
Creating a DualEnroll account now requires an email address, whether a student signs up or an administrator creates a staff account. Students no longer choose a username (your email is your login), and a cell phone number is now optional. Anyone with an existing account is unaffected and can keep signing in as before.
See: Create your DualEnroll account

A clearer parent consent step
Improvement · Available now
The parent consent step now shows a clear two-button choice: a green “Yes, I provide consent” and a red “No, I do not provide consent”, with an electronic signature required to say yes and the Complete button locked until a choice is made, so parents are far less likely to decline by mistake. Where your workflow offers the Spanish language toggle, the consent question, buttons, and signature label switch to Spanish along with the rest of the step. No setup needed.
See: Complete the parent consent step
Mark a workflow complete without a support ticket
New feature · Available now
College administrators can now close out a registration workflow themselves from the workflow menu. This is for enrollments handled outside DualEnroll, such as those entered directly in your SIS or where consent was gathered on paper. You give a reason and confirm, and the completion is recorded in the registration history.
See: Force complete a workflow
Set your own rules for workflow actions
New feature · Available now
You can now view the platform rules that govern when the Abandon and Force Complete actions are available on a workflow, and add your college’s own rules, for example to block completing a workflow at a particular step. When a rule blocks an action, it now appears with the reason shown instead of simply disappearing.
See: Understanding Workflow Action Policies and Manage Workflow Action Policies
Automatic reminder resends for stalled steps
New feature · Available now
DualEnroll can now automatically resend a workflow step’s notification to students and parents on a schedule, so steps that wait on someone to act, like Parent Consent, follow up on their own instead of waiting for staff to resend by hand. On the steps you choose, you set how often the reminder goes out and how many times it repeats, and each reminder is the same message the recipient received the first time. Staff reviewing a registration can see when the next automatic reminder is scheduled.
See: Understanding automatic notification resends and Set up automatic notification resends
Filter the Course Finder by course category
New feature · Available now
Your college can now let students narrow the Course Finder to your own course categories, such as Gen Ed, CTE, or Transfer Pathway. You choose which categories appear, so students filter using the vocabulary you already use, and can select more than one to see every course in any of them. The filter turns on as soon as you include your first category, and works alongside the other Course Finder filters.
See: Turn on the Course Finder category filter
Fill in missing dates of birth on your Colleague records
New feature · Available on request
If your college connects DualEnroll to Ellucian Colleague, you can now have DualEnroll fill in a student’s date of birth on a matched SIS record when it’s missing (taking it from the student’s application), so staff no longer re-key it by hand. It only fills a blank field and never changes a date of birth that’s already there. This one is available on request: contact your DualEnroll representative to turn it on for your college.
See: Understanding the date of birth backfill
See what happened at every step in Registration History
Improvement · Available now
A registration’s history now shows the outcome of each completed step (Approved, Declined, Completed, Skipped) in a new Outcome column, so you can see at a glance whether a parent approved consent or how a review was decided, without digging or asking support. It works on your existing registrations too, and there’s nothing to set up.
See: Understanding the Outcome column
Remove students before class starts without Colleague rejecting it
Improvement · Available on request
If your college connects DualEnroll to Ellucian Colleague, removals made before a class starts are now reported with the code Colleague expects, clearing the “status is not valid for the current time period” errors that could leave a student stuck in a course. You set a Delete Period on each term to say when that applies, and the Drop option becomes available during that window. Available on request: contact your DualEnroll representative to turn it on.
See: Set Delete Period dates on an academic term
May 2026
Register many students at once through the DualEnroll API
New feature · Available now
If your college needs to enroll students in bulk, your IT or integration staff can now do it programmatically through the DualEnroll API instead of entering each registration by hand. DualEnroll creates the registrations and starts your normal registration workflow for each one, exactly as if staff had entered it. Full endpoint documentation is on your site at /api-docs.
See: Register students in bulk with the API
Register students at any point in the term without Colleague rejecting it
Improvement · Available on request
If your college connects DualEnroll to Ellucian Colleague, registrations are now reported with the status code Colleague expects for the point in the term when they happen, clearing the “status not allowed” and “capacity exceeded due to add authorization” rejections that began after Colleague’s Q4 2025 update. To use it, set both Add Period dates on every term you register students into; a term left blank reports every registration as a new registration, which Colleague will reject once its add period opens. Available on request: contact your DualEnroll representative to turn it on.
See: Set Add Period dates on an academic term
See when a registration was completed, not just last updated
Improvement · Available now
The registration reports now include a Registration Completed On column, alongside Registration Started On and Registration Updated On, so you can read completion timing directly for reconciliation, audits and state reporting. Previously the closest value was last-updated, which changes any time a registration is touched. Two caveats before you rely on it: the column records the day a registration concluded, including registrations that were declined, and it appears on two of the four registration reports.
See: Understanding Registration Completed On
Filter an instructor’s ongoing requirements by type
Improvement · Available now
When you open an instructor’s course profile, the Ongoing Requirements list now has a Type filter alongside Term, so you can go straight to the site visits or just the syllabus updates. Pick a type, a term, or both. The Type list covers every requirement type your college uses, not only the ones this instructor has, so picking a type can return an empty list.
See: Find and filter ongoing requirements
Open an instructor’s history and notifications straight from the Instructors page
Improvement · Available now
Each row on the Instructors page now has a three-dot options menu, giving you an instructor’s credential review History, its Notifications, and the Files attached to the review without a support request or a detour through another page. The same menu appears on the Course Reviews page under Credential Reviews. Note that it opens the instructor’s most recent credential review only, and that high school and district users can see the options but cannot open them.
See: Check an instructor’s credential review
Stop the course import from overwriting a course section
New feature · Available now
If your college brings course sections in from its SIS, a College Super Admin can now lock an individual section so the import leaves it alone: details, meeting times, fees and action dates all stay as your team set them. Locking does not make the section read-only, and it protects the section from the next import onward rather than undoing an earlier one.
See: Stop imports from overwriting a course section
See which parents have not yet responded to a consent request
Improvement · Available now
The Parent Consent Report now shows consent requests that are still waiting or were declined, not only the ones a parent has approved, so you can see who has not responded and how long they have been waiting. If you feed this report into a spreadsheet or another system, check the guide before your next export: one column was renamed and now holds a different kind of value.
See: Understanding parent consent reports and Clear aged pending parent consents
Show students which courses their high school pays for
New feature · Available on request
If your local high schools agree to cover tuition for particular courses, you can now record those agreements on each course, and students see a Paid by [their high school] banner plus a Course Finder filter that narrows the list to what their own school covers. A new Contracted Courses report lists every agreement, and high school staff can run it for their own school. Available on request: contact your DualEnroll representative to turn it on.
