You can save data at any time.




Next Crs to Place

Click to retrieve the next course to the Course to be Placed field, which will be the first course not completely placed that has the highest priority for placement, as determined by MSALGO.

A section is considered placed if meeting time 1 has a semester code, beginning period, and ending period. The information must be saved.

All sections of a course must be placed for MSALGO to consider the course completely placed.

The next course to place is not accurate unless all meeting time information entered is saved.

KEEP IN MIND: You can override the suggested courses at any time. However, it is to your advantage to follow the MSALGO logic as closely as possible.
