- Jason Vance
Log in to the CCSDAS and use this form to request for courses to be added to your school from the Master Course Catalog, to request for a brand-new course to be created, or to have a course removed from your school’s course offerings.
Log in

User your CCS username and password (same as for email or Infinite Campus)
Navigate to Student Information > Course Request > Request a Course
Select Request Type
If you want to have a new course created, choose “New Course”. To have an existing course added to your school, choose “Existing Course.” To remove a course, choose “Remove Course.”
Add an Existing Course
Select your school from the drop list
If the course you are adding is replacing another course, indicate it here. If not, leave the default option
Provide the reason why you are requesting this course in the Rationale box
Select the department your requested course belongs to
This will narrow down the course list to just those in that department.
Choose the course you wish to add.
NOTE: Courses that have been divided into semesters will only show the first semester portion (course number ends with .1). Once approved, both the first and second semester portions of the course will be added.
Once the course is selected, the Grading Tasks, Credit Value, and Credit Type will fill in automatically
IMPORTANT: Select the correct year of implementation so that we know when you will be offering the course
Instruction frequency (number of periods per day) and course term will populate automatically
Enter a number for the projected enrollment for this course
IMPORTANT: Only enter a numerical value in this field … if other characters are entered, it will not let you submit the form.
Choose a grade level for this course (you can select more than one). If there is no specific grade level, leave the default of ‘no specific grade level’
The Student Population will automatically populate. If you are expecting a different value (Special Ed students for example), make sure that you have selected the correct course above
For Student Identification, indicate how students will be selected to take the course
Enter any financial obligations associated with the course in the boxes as indicated
If the Responsible Party is something besides the School or District, choose Other and specify the details
If the Fund is something other than General Fund or Title, choose Other and indicate the source
If there are no financial obligations, leave each row at the default of $0
When finished, press Submit
If there is a required field missing, an error message will appear. Make sure to correct any fields highlighted in red.
Add New Course
Adding a new course is similar to the steps above. There are a few more fields to fill out to give the curriculum department an idea of what your expectations are for the new course. Fill them out as accurately and completely as you can.
Remove a Course
Removing a course from your deck is very simple. Just indicate the year, School, and course to remove.
Be sure to remove any rostered students and sections prior to requesting the removal of a course, otherwise you will get an error message like the one below:
This usually indicates that you have chosen the current year instead of next school year.
Check Status
After submission, the request will go to the building principal approval
If the request is being made by the principal, this step is skipped
Next, the Curriculum Department will approve the request
Once Curriculum approves, the Infinite Campus team will add the course
To check the status at any time, browse to Student Information > Course Request > List
select the History tab
The Status column will show who the request is waiting on
