Conflict Matrix Page

For each course, this report provides a count of how many students have requested any two courses in the Course Catalog. Use this information to avoid scheduling conflicts by determining what courses should not have sections scheduled to meet in the same marking period and scheduling period.

The report has two formats:

Book: Each course is listed as a heading, with all course codes with conflicts listed below and the number of conflicts next to each course code.
Grid: The courses selected are listed along the horizontal and vertical axes of a grid. The number at the point of intersection of any two different courses indicates how many students have requested both of these courses.
