My sim is starting his third second-week term at University. Already during his second term, many of the other YAs in town were walking around in graduation robes which (obviously) shows that they have already graduated, and my sim was the only one showing up at lectures and activities.
I would like him to have some classmates again. I know that I can go into Edit Town and move more YAs in, but what I don't know is will these new residents automatically become students, or do I have to do something to enroll them? My problem is specifically that I need more students, not more people.
(I'm using some NRAAS mods including Master Controller).

When inactives graduate, regardless of the robes they are wearing, they are still eligible to continue their studies in different majors. Some of them have really been working on different degrees at different times all along.
Not sure what happens if a sim gets all of the possible degrees and hasn't passed on from old age yet; likely they will continue to register for yet more semesters if things are working right (and if you don't mind a Uni World full of very smart elders).
But sometimes for many of us, the game just doesn't generate another semester's worth of students on that first Sunday morning before the Meet & Greet. I've used NRaas SP's Rapid Immigration to bring in fresh sims, who will always try to live in off-campus housing, and then spend some time using MC > Add Sim to add some of them to dorms and the frat/sorority houses. And even then, they don't always pick up academic careers and I have to coax them into that with MC > Sim > Intermediate > Career > Choose Academic Career (Level 1 for regular students, Level 2 for "Professors" to be set separately).
It's a lot of work when this doesn't all happen automatically, but as long as I don't start a new semester all that often it's still fun for me to go through the procedure each time I want fresh faces in town. Usually I end up replacing around 1/3 to 1/2 of them anyway and many of the graduates (I mean the ones whom I really don't want to see in Uni World anymore, enough studying already!) I gather up and move them to my other worlds if I ever want to see them again.
The above also means that I use SP for story progression for Uni World. Some say that's a no-no, but I think things feel much more realistic that way.
Does any of that help?

All of it helps! Thank you very much, @igazor !
Thanks again for your advice, @igazor !
Now we just need a way to make them more interested in those lectures. I don't see a single sim in that room who wouldn't rather be someplace else.
