# Create Custom Enrollment Fields
Custom enrollment fields allow you to extend the types of data that is collected and stored with enrollments. In an organization, you can customize the enrollment fields default value. If a default value is set then that value is used for new enrollments. Custom enrollment field values can also be set by an administrator or by the student if the field is included in a student input assignment.
When a field is defined it can be shared with sub-organizations. The default settings for the field can be customized at sub-organizations and it can be customized in each section within the organization.
