Tool Search: Schedule
This guide explains how to add the course request list to the student's schedule using the Walk-In Scheduler.
Counselors add course requests when working with students to plan their schedules for the current or next school year. This process is also used when scheduling a student for a Cross-Site Enrollment course.
Before you start
- Review the student's Academic and Graduation Plan.
- Verify you have the correct year and calendar selected in the Context Switcher.
- See the Student Schedule Tool Rights article for the necessary tool rights.
Add Requests
Course requests are first sorted by the Course Number, then by the type of request (1. Required, 2. Elected, 3. Alternate). Alternate courses are listed in Request ID order (the first course marked as an alternate is listed first in the list of all alternate courses).
Add Requests Panel
- From the Requests panel, click the Add Requests button. An Add Requests panel displays with a list of active courses in the selected calendar. Courses that are not marked active are not included.
- Search for courses by typing in a course number or a course name.
- When the desired course is found, click anywhere within the course area to add the course to the schedule (or click the blue plus sign). A green message displays, indicating it's been added to the list of requested courses. The added course also displays in a list of Unscheduled courses, meaning the course has not yet been added to the student's schedule.
- Repeat steps 1-3 as needed.
- When finished adding course requests, click the Done button in the Add Requests panel. The Add Requests panel closes.
Quick Add Requests
This option allows for entry of memorized course numbers to the Requests panel. This is a useful option when a new student enrolls in the district, for example. A counselor can quickly add courses that the student must take, then use the other request options for filling in the schedule.
Keyboard shortcuts are not available when using Quick Add.
Quick Add Student Requests- From the Requests panel, click the down arrow next to the Add Requests button and select the Quick Add option. A Quick Add panel displays within the Add Requests panel.
- Enter a Course Number in the search field. Matching courses display with the name and the number of units.
- Hit the Enter key to add the course to the Unscheduled Course Requests list.
- Repeat steps 1-3 as needed.
- When finished quickly adding course requests, click the Done button in the Add Requests panel to close the panel.
Add Planned Courses
This option only displays when the student has a Graduation Program assigned and courses added to their Course Plan, and no other courses listed in the Requests panel. Courses planned for the 11th grade year are added when the student is enrolled in 11th grade (e.g., current year planning).
It may be helpful to generate the Course Plan Report prior to adding the courses.
Add Planned Courses- From the Requests panel, click the down arrow next to the Add Requests button and select the Add Planned Courses option. All courses for that planned year are added to the Request panel.
- Modify the requests by changing the course type as needed.
