Course RequestsThe management of Alternate Course Requests has been completely redesigned to allow multiple alternate requests to be associated with each primary request. Also, summer course requests now support alternates using this new design. These changes apply to the staff-facing Course Requests page as well as the Course Requests Entry page where parents and/or students can enter course requests in the Aeries Portal.
