Schedule Students to Class

Revised: 4/23/2018

 

Note: During a scheduling run the scheduling operation will take about one (1) to two (2) minutes per 100 students being sent through the scheduling operation. The schedule run will be making changes to your registration records. Your staff must not work in Next Year Registration and Scheduling during this process. You may want to notify your guidance department that a schedule run is being performed.
