District Course Group Page

On this page:

Use this page to add or change a course group in your District Course Catalog. When a group is added, it defaults to the Course Groups section of the catalog record 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, which can be used to list courses that are typically taken at specific grade levels, are useful in sequencing courses for prerequisite checking. 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.

Course groups can also be created for a Building Course Catalog in the Scheduling > Courses > Building Courses > Building Course Groups option. Usually, creating course groups at the building level is only necessary if a building offers courses that are not included in the district catalog.

The advantage of using a district group is that you do not have to set up a separate group for each building that offers the courses. Once you add a group at the district level, it becomes available to all buildings that share the group's building types.
