Multiple Bell Schedules and Courses

Multiple bell schedules impact how courses may be defined.

You can assign multiple house/teams to a course, but the scheduled periods for a course must have the same starting time and same ending time for all timetables associated with the house/teams. Only students assigned to one of the selected house/teams will be scheduled for the course-section.

If multiple house/teams are selected for a course-section and the timetables overlap for the scheduled periods, you will get a warning, and you will not be able to save the course-section.
If you do not want to assign the course to a house/team, you can leave the course-section without a house/team designation as long as the start time and end time of the selected periods do not overlap in any of the timetables.

The following examples illustrate how courses can be defined based on a sample from three timetables.

You want to schedule:	Timetables indicate:
Course: Homeroom Period: HRM House/Teams: None	This course would be valid because all timetables have the same starting and ending times for the HRM period.
Course: 104 English Period: P1 House/Teams: 04	This course would be valid.
Course: 200 Study Skills Period: P2 House/Teams: 04,05	This course would be valid because all timetables for the selected house teams have the same start and end times for the P2 period.
Course: 500 Industrial Arts Period: P1 - P2 House/Teams: 04,05	This course would be valid. Both timetable A and B have the same starting and ending times for periods P1 and P2.
Course: 400 Newspaper Period: P3 House/Teams: 04,05	This course would be invalid. P3 has different times for the timetables used by the selected teams. If you want to offer this course to these teams, you must either offer it in a period that has the same meeting times or create separate sections for each team.
Course: 600 Lunch Period: P4 House/Teams: None	This course would be invalid. P4 has different times for the timetables. You must create separate sections for each team.
