Why connect student progression & promotion?
Moving a learner into the next year or program stage should reflect agreed academic requirements and considered exceptions, not a bulk spreadsheet edit.

A WORKED EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE SCENARIO
A progression exception needs an academic reason
Most learners meet the next-year requirements, but one is awaiting a reassessment. Advancing the whole cohort would conceal an unresolved academic decision.
The decision and its context
Apply the approved progression rules to the correct period, then separate exceptions for academic review. Record whether progression is confirmed, conditional or deferred, including the required follow-up and decision owner.
What a complete outcome looks like
A reviewer should be able to explain which result or requirement informed the outcome. The next enrollment must reflect the authorized decision rather than a bulk assumption.
A CAPABILITY, NOT AN ISLAND
Connect student progression & promotion with the next workflow.
The same institutional context should support the next responsible team’s action. Explore the connected capabilities.

Useful questions about student progression & promotion.
Can promotion be reviewed student by student?
Cohort rules provide the starting point, while authorized reviewers can record an individual decision and its supporting reason.
How does this connect to the rest of the student journey?
The approved student identity, intake, and enrollment context carry into the next responsible team’s work. Review the exact handoff and its required fields during implementation.
