This article is to help LA GATOR schools update their school rosters and remove students who aren't actually enrolled at their school.
Schools now have a feature that allows them to flag when a student has withdrawn or never attended their school. To use the feature, the school must have previously verified the student’s enrollment request. Updating the student’s status will remove the student from the Odyssey school roster and prompt the family to either update their school selection or opt out of the program, if needed.
Schools are expected to monitor their student rosters in Odyssey throughout the year to ensure they remain aligned with school records. This helps confirm that only students who are actually enrolled at your school remain on your roster.
Initial Roster Review Deadline
As an initial roster review, schools are required to complete this check by Thursday, August 13, 2026.
After this initial review, schools should continue updating student statuses in Odyssey any time a student withdraws, never attends, or is otherwise no longer enrolled at the school.
Important Note About Eligible Students
You may also update the enrollment status for Eligible students.
Eligible students are students who qualify for the program but are currently on the funding waitlist. They will only receive funding if funding becomes available. Updating these statuses helps ensure rosters are accurate before waitlist funding is prepared.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Log in to Your Odyssey School Account
Step 2: Click on [Student Enrollment & Fees]
From your dashboard, navigate to your student roster by clicking on [Student Enrollment & Fees].
Step 3: Locate the Student
Find the student who is no longer enrolled at your school or who never attended.
You should update a student’s status if:
- The student withdrew from your school.
- The student never attended your school.
- The student is otherwise no longer enrolled at your school.
Note: You will not be able to update a student if you have previously denied their enrollment request, if they have changed educational setting selection, or if their enrollment is inactive.
Step 4: Open the Student’s Profile
Select the student’s profile from your roster.
Step 5: Select the Appropriate Status Button
On the student’s profile, select the appropriate button:
- Withdrawn if the student was previously enrolled but has since withdrawn.
- Never Attended if the student was verified but never attended your school.
Step 6: Confirm the Update
Review your selection and confirm the update. If your student has withdrawn, you will be asked to add the withdrawal date. If the student did not attend, you will be prompted to add the date they did not attend.
Once confirmed, the student will be removed from your school roster in Odyssey.
Step 7: Continue Monitoring Your Roster
After completing the initial roster review, continue monitoring your roster throughout the year. If a student withdraws, never attends, or is no longer enrolled at your school, update their status in Odyssey as soon as possible.
Keeping your roster accurate helps ensure program records remain up to date and that funding is only associated with students who are actually enrolled at your school.
