Building Course Group Page

On this page:

Use this page to add or change a course group in your Building Course Catalog. When a group is added, it defaults to the catalog's Course Groups panel for each of the group's courses. If needed, you can assign a course to existing groups by adding the groups to the course's catalog record.

Course groups are used for sequencing courses in prerequisite checking. Typically, course groups are set up by subject area and grade. If a student completes any course in the group, the student fulfills the requirement. For example, you could have a math 9 group of courses, any one of which would fulfill the requirement for grade 9 math and qualify the student for grade 10 math.

If you have a District Course Catalog, you can create groups at the district level using the District Course Group option (Scheduling > Courses > District Courses > District Course Groups). Usually, creating course groups at the building level is only necessary when a building offers courses that are not included in the district catalog. For more information, refer to District Course Group Page.
