Scheduled Course Load/Unload/Lock/Erase Page

Use this page to add (load), drop (unload), replace, or lock one or more courses for groups of students enrolled in the selected building. You can also erase all courses for the selected students by running the option for a date prior to the first day of school.

Security resources determine whether a user can override conflicts caused by time overlaps in Multiple Bell Scheduling. Also, you cannot drop a course that has been locked. You must first unlock the course on the Schedule Entry page (Scheduling > Student Schedules > Student > Schedule Entry).

Caution

Deleting and dropping courses in the current year could affect attendance and mark reporting data. Back up your database or perform a Save Scheduling run before proceeding in case you need to restore your original data.

Action	Indicates the action to be taken. If you select Mass Load, Mass Unload, or Mass Lock Select, the page displays the Course List section. If you select Mass Replace, the page displays the Courses section. Select: Erase All - to delete all courses for the selected students. This is an extremely powerful option - always back up the database before running. It cannot be run after the start of school. Mass Load - to add the courses you enter below to the selected students' schedules, if the courses fit into their schedules. Mass Lock - to change all courses to a status of Locked for the selected students. Mass Lock Select - to change the status of the courses you enter below to a status of Locked. If a selected student does not have the course, a message will state this in the log. Mass Replace - to enter the old course and the new course for each replacement to be made. The replacement will only be made if the student has the old course and the new course fits into the student's schedule. Refer to the Date Dropped field description for more information.

If the date is after school starts, a dropped course record is kept. The Last MP To Receive Marks is set to the last marking period of the course, and the Last Mark Issued By is set to Teacher. If the students will not receive marks in all marking periods, you will need to update the dropped course records.
