Scheduling > Utilities > Create NY Master Schedule > Campus
This utility creates next year campus courses (i.e., the campus master schedule). At the campus level, courses are only created if they are offered at the district level.
If next year master schedule information already exists, the message “Created” is displayed.
NOTE: If choosing Scheduling Option 1: Manual Entry or Option 2: Combination, campuses can choose to create Instructors and Campus Sections on this screen.
Choosing ONLY Campus Courses gives the campus the option to remove and/or modify courses prior to creating the NY instructors and NY campus sections (if they choose to) into the campus schedules. Then for Scheduling Option 1: Manual Entry or Option 2: Combination, instructors and campus sections are created later.
❏ Select the data you want to create:
NOTE:
• Instructors and sections will be populated in the next step of the scheduling process.
• Active Meeting Times is selected by default; however, meeting times will not be created if Campus Sections is not selected.
Campus Courses Select to create next year courses. Additional fields are enabled:
from CY campus Select if you want courses created from the current year campus master schedule.
from NY district Select if you want courses created from the next year district master schedule.
This option is not usually selected, as it moves ALL courses from the district master schedule, including courses that are no longer used.
This option creates all district courses at the campus. This option can be used if the district has only one campus.The Campus Sections field is enabled allowing you to create sections.
NOTE: If the Maximum Course Number Length in Scheduling (Maintenance > Master Schedule > District > District Control) is different than the current year Maximum Course Number Length in Grade Reporting (Maintenance > Tables > District Control Table), the courses are created using the crosswalk table that was created in Scheduling when the New Course Number Length was changed to match the new district master schedule on the District Control tab.
After the new course number length has been committed, the crosswalk table will no longer exist, and the courses in current year Grade Reporting will be zero padded to the correct length for next year based on the options selected on the Scheduling District Control tab.
