The combination scheduling process involves creating the campus master schedule from the current year (section and meeting times) (Step 1), entering or bringing in student course requests (Step 2), and using an automated process to schedule students into course-sections (Step 3).
Step 2 covers adding student course requests.
IMPORTANT: Do not proceed unless Combination - Step 1 is completed.
Before you proceed, run and review all Scheduling pre-load reports.
Student course requests can be entered in one of the following ways:
Courses can be manually entered for students individually, or you can mass assign a course to a group of students.
Examples of a course request being entered manually for the student are:
Individually:
Scheduling > Maintenance > Student Schedules > Course Requests
IMPORTANT: Be sure to enter proxy numbers (not course numbers) when proxies are used.
By Group:
Scheduling > Maintenance > Group Course Change
This page allows you to make course changes for a particular group of students at one time.
