Change Student Schedules

You can make changes to a student's entire schedule from the Schedule Entry: List page or navigate to the Student Course page to enter changes for an individual course. This topic provides the procedures for changing scheduled courses from either page.

Schedule Entry Page

The advantage of the Schedule Entry page is that you can make multiple schedule changes quickly without having to navigate back and forth to the Student Course page. However, if you need to make certain changes to a course, such re-adding a dropped course or entering values for distict-defined fields, you must use the Student Course page.

When you change a student's schedule on the Schedule Entry page, eSchoolPlus creates a model of the schedule. Modeling allows you to keep your changes or discard them and return to the student's current schedule. The schedule is not updated with your changes until you elect to keep it.

Note

To use this page to make schedule changes, select the following in the Selection panel's Columns To Display section: Add and Drop Dates and Mark Reporting. Depending on the changes being made, you also may want to select Cycles, scheduling durations, and Trail From. For related information, refer to Personalizing Schedule Entry .
