Welcome to our guide on custom clearances! This feature is designed to help schools effectively track and manage additional eligibility requirements that extend beyond the standard forms, payments, and medical documentation. In this article, we will explore when to use custom clearances, the different clearance statuses, how they affect compliance, and some best practices to keep in mind.

Custom clearances are a valuable tool for schools to:

• Track disciplinary eligibility

• Enforce academic requirements

• Manage temporary or conditional participation

• Document special administrative decisions

It's important to note that custom clearances supplement, but do not replace, standard compliance requirements.

Each custom clearance can have one of the following statuses:

• None – No clearance applied; student is eligible

• Unclear – Student is not eligible until the clearance expires

• Limited – Student may participate with restrictions

• Clear – Student is eligible without restrictions

Clearances can also be configured to:

• Apply to specific modes (E.g., Academic, Athletic).

• Automatically clear on a specified date

• Notify parents when status changes

Understanding how custom clearances impact compliance is crucial:

• Clearance status contributes to the student’s row color.

• Clearance impact is mode-specific.

• Multiple clearances may exist simultaneously.

To make the most of custom clearances, consider the following best practices:

• Use clear labels and provide a reason for each clearance.

• Avoid overlapping or conflicting clearances.

• Review expiration dates regularly to ensure compliance.
