Walk-In Scheduler Tool

Before the first day of school, scheduling staff can use the Roster Setup tool to quickly create rosters by section. However, after the first day of school, the Walk-In Scheduler is the only Infinite Campus tool used to schedule, modify, or remove students from/into their courses.

When you click on a student’s schedule tab, select Walk-In Scheduler at the bottom of your screen. There are two separate panels for data entry in the Walk-In Scheduler. You can use the Search Panel or the Requests Panel. These two options are located on the right side of the schedule when you select the Walk- In Scheduler.

Requests Panel

Typically, this panel will not be used after the start of school. Course requests are frequently used during Master Scheduling.

Search Panel

Use the Search Panel to find specific courses to add to a student's schedule by entering search criteria. (This panel is used to create, modify, or delete a student’s schedule during the school year.)

You can search for courses by entering one or more of the following options:

Course Name (or part of the course name)
Course Number
Teacher's last name
Term in which the course meets
Period in which the course meets
Schedule
Team Name
Department

When searching for a course and choosing an option, the cells where that course is scheduled highlight in the background. If you have altered the Filter bar to hide some terms or periods you don't want to see, and attempt to search for a course, a Hidden Section Warning message displays asking if you want to continue with your settings or reset them. Click the Continue button to not make any changes to your schedule display, or click Reset, which causes the hidden Term to display again.

Click the ‘Add Option’ to add additional search criteria.

When the course displays, click the plus sign (+) next to the Course name to view information about the course section such as:

Section Number
Number of students assigned
Teacher Name

When using the Walk-In Scheduler, the first step should be to enter the effective date of the student's enrollment in the course. Users can enter this by typing in the date, choosing the calendar icon to select a date, or by clicking the ‘Today’ button to begin the course on the current date. Entered dates must be within the term dates of when the course meets.

When entering schedule information for a student, the date the user enters will remain once that student’s schedule is complete. Users must verify that the correct date is showing for EACH student that is being scheduled and modify the date field each time. During the school year, it is essential that you understand that if the effective date is used incorrectly, it can delete information.

Users can select various search options from the dropdown list (Term, Course Name, Course Number, etc.) and enter the desired search criteria into the field or select the desired criteria from the dropdown list.

To remove a search option, click the red X to the right of that option.

To add more options, click the Add Option link.
