Three Scheduling Options Flow Chart:

Whether your district and campuses do manual, automated, or combination scheduling, you must complete the preliminary requirements before you begin.

ASCENDER Scheduling - Preliminary Requirements

The following steps are for secondary campuses and districts that manually create the campus master schedule (section and meeting times) and manually schedule students into course-sections.

ASCENDER Scheduling - Manual

These steps are for secondary campuses and districts that use a combination of manual and automated tools to complete scheduling, where the campus master schedule (section and meeting times) is manually created, and automated tools are used to schedule students into course-sections.

ASCENDER Scheduling - Combination

These steps are for secondary campuses and districts that use an ASCENDER program (Master Schedule Generator or MSALGO) to create the campus master schedule (section and meeting times) and to create student schedules.

ASCENDER Scheduling - Automated

IMPORTANT: The steps you follow depend on whether or not Annual Student Data Rollover (ASDR) has been completed.

If the district has not yet run ASDR, follow the steps as described on the ASCENDER Scheduling - Complete Scheduling for Elementary Campuses (Before ASDR) guide. These steps are completed in the Scheduling application.

If the district has already run ASDR, follow the steps as described on the ASCENDER Grade Reporting - Complete Scheduling for Elementary Campuses (After ASDR) guide. These steps are completed in the Grade Reporting application.

Additional tools are available to address other scheduling needs:

• Individual student schedule changes may be necessary after the school year begins.
  • (Before Annual Student Data Rollover) ASCENDER Scheduling - Change a Student's Schedule
  • (After Annual Student Data Rollover) ASCENDER Grade Reporting - Change a Student's Schedule
    
    

• For students who transfer into the school and do not have a schedule, use the Walk-in Scheduler.
