Course Selection Settings

Choose one of the two options under Scheduling method:

• Allow students to enroll in classes: Once classes are created, students will be able to self-enroll via the My Day menu under Class enrollment.

• Allow students to request courses: Students will be able to request courses, and those requests will be used when creating classes. A registrar will have to approve all course requests, which will appear in the Academics Dashboard under Items to review.

Note: If you choose the student self-enrollment option, you can exclude certain courses from self-enrollment. To access this setting, go to Scheduling, Course selection and schedules, then open the Departments & courses tab. Open one of the departments and select the edit icon next to the course. You will find the self-registration settings in the Schedule area via the menu on the left. Select Exclude course from student class enrollment, then Save & Close. For courses with this setting enabled, the registrar will need to enroll students.

Under Scheduling notes for students, you can customize a message that students will see when they select Class enrollment.

Select Displayed to enable the message.

If you would like to change the existing message, hover over the text and select the pencil icon that appears in the top right. Any changes you make will change when you click outside the text box.

When a student or faculty member goes to select or request courses, the system will need to know how to display certain courses. Specify how to handle the following under Exceptions To Communicate:

• Lacks prerequisite

• Assigned to a different classification than the course

For each of the exceptions, choose one of the three options:

• Ignore: No checks are enabled and students or faculty can freely request or enroll in courses.

• Show message: Faculty and students will be notified that they are not able to request or enroll in courses. Faculty will see the same message when approving course requests, but they will be able to override the exception check.

• Hide course from list: Courses will be hidden for students who do not meet the pre-established course requirements.

In the Scheduling notes for students section, you can enter a signup policy. This can include information for students like how many classes a student must take, credit requirements, etc.

If you want to display the policy to students, select Displayed.

Note: This is a global setting that affects all school levels and group types.

Under Confirmation Screen text, you can enter a message to display to students who have completed enrollment. Select Displayed to enable the message.
