The Student Search menu option in Paradigm allows you to search for student records that meet the search criteria that you specify. Student Number, First and Last Name, Home Institution, and Status are some of the search criteria fields that you can set when searching for student records in Paradigm. This screen is also used if you want to search for students that you want to add to your bulk list for sending communications and for other bulk processes in Paradigm.
Another notable function of the Student Search menu is to unload any currently loaded record in the system. This is very helpful if you want to refresh the system by clearing the currently loaded records from memory and working on a different student record.
Choose the Student > Search menus on the side. This action clears all currently loaded records from memory. Enter your search criteria and click the SEARCH button. Refer to the Student Record Type if you need further descriptions of the available search criteria.
To filter the list of students that meet the search criteria, use the search box on top of the list to type another keyword or field [e.g. first name or last name] that will relate more to the student(s) that you are searching for.
Once you’ve found the student, click the blue hyperlink Student Number under the Student No column to load the Student Summary page for your student.
Refer to the instructions in this workflow if you need to compile a list of students for bulk communications or other bulk actions in Paradigm: Add Students to a Bulk List via Student Search
It is recommended to always unload the current student record before working on another record to avoid the potential of cross-contaminating your data with any other student record. To unload a record, just simply navigate to Student > Search menus on the side, see Unload a Student Record
