Adding a Course Request Packet
Overview ↑
Course Request Packets are set up on Scheduling Process > Configurations > Course Request Packets (see Creating and Modifying Course Request Packets). To add a packet to a student's schedule, find the student and navigate to Student Data > Scheduling > Classes.
Course Request Packets are created to group a set of courses together for scheduling purposes. When a packet is added to a student’s schedule, all of its courses are placed on the student's Edit Mode workspace. The student is scheduled into those courses once sections are chosen and the schedule is saved. Course Request Packets can be created for any logical group of courses. A common example is the set of required courses for a specific grade level.
