Registering students for the DP digital (on-screen) trial exams
Schools can continue to register candidates through ManageBac as normal and then make any required updates in IBIS afterward.
For schools participating in the May 2027 digital examinations, candidate registrations can be updated in IBIS after they have been imported from ManageBac. If your school is offering Language and Literature, Literature, or Language Acquisition subjects digitally, you can change those registrations in IBIS to the digital examination option.

If your school has enabled Pamoja Online Courses, you will see a Pamoja symbol next to each course offered by Pamoja. When clicking on the course, you will see the option to Submit Pamoja Course Request. Tick this box if you are going to be taking this course through Pamoja instead of through your school. Then, click Confirm Subject.
This will send a request to Pamoja to register you for the course. Your registration will be listed as Pending until it is confirmed by your school, usually within 3 business days.

Courses may be taught either exclusively through Pamoja, or may be taught by both Pamoja and your school. If you are taking the course through your school, ensure you do not tick the Submit Pamoja Course Request button before you confirm the subject.
