Wizard) and making their grade level “Adult.” This means they are recorded as
an adult. You will need to choose a price group from the pop-up menu. (It usually
doesn’t matter which price group you choose because adults typically pay the
same price no matter what price group they are in). Uncheck their Attend, State
Reporting, Rank, and Honor Roll flags/boxes in the General tab. You can leave
the Active flag/box checked or uncheck it. Since adults are in their own grade
level many schools will leave it checked so they can print labels, send emails, run
reports etc. for the adults entered in JMC. Also, you can only see/edit adults by
choosing the “Adult” grade level in the pop-up menu on the top right corner of the
screen.
