Reversing a Program Exit

Sometimes a client or household has been exited from a program by mistake or a corrections needs to be make in an enrollment. and the user needs to reverse the exit to reactivate the program enrollment. 

Note: This is not the same as a client returning to a program after completion. That requires a new program enrollment. 

  • From the client profile page, click on the Programs Tab, then click on the 'Edit' button next to the program with the incorrect exit. 

  • Click on the 'Exit' button to the right. 

  • Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the button that says Reopen Client Program.


  • You will then be asked if you want to delete all exit data. If the client's exit was a mistake and the client is still active in the project, you will want to make sure this is selected. If you need to reopen a client's enrollment to add something missing, such a service, you will want to make sure this is not selected. You will then click on 'Save'.

  • After clicking 'Save', a pop-up will ask you to confirm if you want to remove the exit date.

  • If you go back to the programs tab, you should be able to see the client is active in the program. 

  • When closing out a reopened enrollment, you can click the Restore Exit Data button to restore the previously entered exit data, including the previous exit date.
