Course Selection
One of the most common questions asked when building your master schedule are whether or not you are using the correct courses for your situation. To assist with this, it is important to determine:
Course Length(terms) - there are different course numbers for courses that meet for a quarter, semester, or a year
...
Please review the Course Numbering Standards page to see how to identify the correct courses by course number
Course Setup
Determine when the course meets:
Quarter (only 6th grade Unified Arts in most cases)
- Semester (course number ends with a "5")
- Year-Long (course number ends with a "0")
- Block (has a "B" suffix)
...
Warning |
---|
Do NOT set up courses for lengths other than what they were intended. For example, 960015 is a semester course, and the Section Schedule Placement should reflect this, as shown in the semester example above. If you check too many or two few boxes, teachers will not be able to grade the courses appropriately, and students may not receive the proper amount of credit that the course is designed for. |

When courses are rolled over from the previous school year, all sections of each course are also rolled over. This includes the teacher(s), room, and when the section is offered --period, day(s), and term(s). |
A new section of a course can be created in a few simple steps:
1 | Make sure to select the correct school year (next year if you are building next year’s schedule) | |||||||||
2 | Click the Search tab, and select Course/Section from the drop list | |||||||||
3 | Enter a course name or number and click the Go button | |||||||||
4 | Click on the Course name in the search results | |||||||||
5 | Click the Sections tab, then the Add a Section link | |||||||||
6 | Choose a section number. This must be a numeric value between 1-9999*
| |||||||||
7 |
For Special Education resource rooms (sections 200 and higher), set this value to zero (0) so that the schedule wizard does not place students into these sections, allowing you to only add students one at a time. For Inclusion classrooms (sections 100-199), leave this box blank and use the default course max students. | |||||||||
8 | Add the room number where this section will be taught. If you do not yet know the room number, this can be added later | |||||||||

11 | Only if this section is being utilized for a resource room, or when the roster is MOSTLY special education students, set the Student Population Override to SE as shown. Otherwise, leave the default setting. This would apply to all sections with section numbers 200 and higher, per the Section Numbering Guide mentioned in step 6. | |||||||||
12 | Check the boxes that correspond to the period, days, and terms the course is being offered. Follow the Section Placement guide here: Section Schedule Placement
| |||||||||
13 | Click the Create Section button. This will complete the process for the initial creation of the section. Follow the steps below to add the teacher(s) to the section. | |||||||||
14 | Once you have created the section following the steps above, you need to add a teacher. To do this, click on the Staff History tab and choose New Primary Teacher. | |||||||||
15 | Choose the correct teacher name from the drop-list. NOTE: If you do not see the teacher listed, it could be that they have not yet been assigned to your school. This is especially true during the Article 211 process in the spring, and also over the summer when new teachers are hired. To inquire on the status of a teacher being added, be sure that they have been boarded. If they have been boarded at least a few days, you can send in a ticket to Campus Support and our team will check on the status. You do not need to fill out any additional fields on the Staff History Detail screen. Click the Save button when completed. | |||||||||
16 | After you click Save, the teacher name will automatically populate in the Teacher Display Name field on the Section tab. This is what will display when searching for sections, on student schedules, and report cards.
