District Control

Scheduling > Maintenance > Master Schedule > District > District Control

This tab allows you to maintain scheduling options for the district that apply to the upcoming school year. You can also change the course number length for the district.

Scheduling District Control tab

Update settings:

At the top of the page, district demographic data is displayed as entered on Registration > Maintenance > District Profile > District Maintenance > Demographic Info.

School Year

The next school year is displayed. The field is populated during Annual Student Data Rollover (ASDR) and cannot be changed.

Maximum Scheduling Semesters Allowed

Select the maximum number of semesters for scheduling.

Examples:

• If all the campuses in the district will use two-semester scheduling, select 2.

• If all campuses in the district will use two-semester scheduling, except the high school will use four-semester scheduling, select 4.

Maximum Course Number Length

The current maximum course number length is displayed.


The following fields are only used when increasing the course number length (e.g., from four digits (1010) to six digits (001010)):

IMPORTANT: It is recommended that if you plan to change course numbers, contact your service center as early in the year as possible.


❏ Enter the following:

New Course Number Length

Select the new maximum course number length to use for scheduling.

Zero Pad Left or Right

Indicate if zeros will be added to the current course numbers on the left or right when the course length is increased (e.g., 1001 becomes either 001001 or 100100). If you have already changed the course number length, L or R is displayed and cannot be changed.


If course numbers have already been changed, the message “New Courses Committed” is displayed.


❏ Click Save.


❏ If you entered a number in the New Course Number Length field:

  • A message is displayed prompting you to overwrite the crosswalk table. Any changes you made will be lost
  • The Commit Crs Changes button appears, and a crosswalk table is created.


❏ Make any necessary changes on the following two tabs:

When you add a new course or proxy, the program will pad the numbers to meet the new length if you enter fewer characters.

IMPORTANT: Do not click Commit Crs Changes until you have accepted your scheduling load, which is covered in Step 3.



❏ Once you have made all necessary changes, click the Commit Crs Changes button.

  • The Undo Course Changes button and the Committed by and Date fields are displayed and provide the user's name who made the change, the user's login name, and date on which the changes were committed.
  • If you make any changes after committing the course number length changes, then decide to revert to the previous course length, all those changes are lost.

Note:

  • If you add a new course in Scheduling after committing the course number length change and then add the course to a graduation plan, you cannot undo the course number length change unless you remove the course from the graduation plan.

  • You cannot undo the course number length change while courses are being requested (i.e., when ASCENDER StudentPortal is open). You must disable access to ASCENDER StudentPortal in order to undo the course number length changes.

  • Until you click Commit Crs Changes, ASCENDER StudentPortal will be disabled. Once course number changes are committed, ASCENDER StudentPortal is re-enabled.

  • The new maximum course length number will roll over to the current year during Move To Grade Reporting.
