Duplicate Student - Error Message when Deleting

Although LACES attempts to catch duplicate records at intake, sometimes one will slip through, either because the first and last name or social security number weren’t an exact match (which can occur due to name changes, nickname usage, or typos) or because the duplicate warning was not noticed or heeded.

If you come across a duplicate record in your database, you should determine which of the records you wish to keep and proceed with, and which should be deleted or marked as not in use.

The most common reasons for receiving an error message when attempting to delete a student are:

• 1. Student is matched in a student/tutor pair 

  2. Student has a fiscal year summary in a prior year that could cause decremented numbers on an NRS report for a prior fiscal year
