District Assignment Settings
In order for a teacher to request a change to the course sections, the following must be done on the teacher's District Assignment record:
- A Title must be selected.
- The Teacher checkbox must be selected.
Only District Assignments in the school in which that section is taught will display.
All district assignments active at any point during the calendar selected will appear in the list even if they have ended to allow teachers to request updates to historical information.
My Courses District Assignment Requirements
In addition to District Assignment settings, users also need tool rights to My Courses. See the My Data page for information on suggested tool rights for the My Courses tab.
If a user who has write access to request an update to a section but there are no values to display (i.e., the user does not have the appropriate District Assignment settings), the user will not be able to request an update and will receive an error message indicating the section cannot be updated because no value exists in the District Assignment field.
Sync from District Edition to State Edition
Assignments made in District Edition may only be requested by users in District Edition. Assignments made in State Edition may only be requested by users in State Edition. Users cannot modify sections in State Edition that were created in the district. Any approved requests made in the district will sync to the state if that section syncs to the state.
My Courses Editor
The My Courses editor is broken down into three sections:
- The Course/Sections Tree, that displays the staff person's school of employment, the assigned courses, and the assigned sections.
- A course list to which the teacher is assigned a course section.
- A section list within each course assigned to the teacher.
The Teacher can only request an update to the section assignment when a Section is selected.
Request a Section Assignment Update
- Select the Request Section Assignment Update icon.
- A Courses - Update Record Request editor will display.
- Enter a Brief Description for the change.
- Select the desired Assignment for the selected section in the dropdown list.
- Click the Save Request icon.
An entry will be added to the My Request tab, noting changes were requested on a particular date. A designated approver will review the changes and accept or deny as necessary. A message indicating a request has been approved or denied will be sent via the Process Alerts. The user may select this link and the My Requests tab will display.
