The Class Requests screen allows parents and students to view course requests made by students and administrative staff. Students can also create course requests for the following term or school year.
Your school or district may limit the dates and times when students may enter requests on this screen.
1a. As a parent, click the arrow to open the applicable student's screens, then click Class Requests.
1b. As a student, click Class Requests.
The top left corner of the screen displays the number of requests and alternates made by the student or administrative staff.
The top right corner of the screen has indicators whether the requests have been "Approved by Counselor" and whether requests have been "Locked for Students." If requests have been locked for students, students can not add or modify course requests.
The table at the top of the screen displays the Course title, Course # (number), Allow Elective Alternates (the course can be replaced by an alternate designated in the Elective Alternate Course Requests table), Term (if a specific term is specified), Alternate Course 1, Alternate Course 2, Alternate Course 3 (if alternates are designated for the specific course), With Teacher (if a specific teacher is specified), Without Teacher (if a specific teacher is specified), With Period (if a specific period is specified), Without Period (if a specific period is specified), and Last Modified.
The "Approved By Teacher" column will also display if the school has teachers approve course requests.
Additionally, the Elective Alternate Course Requests table displays alternate course requests that can replace any course with "Allow Elective Alternates" selected at the top of the screen. While the Alternate Course 1, Alternate Course 2, and Alternate Course 3 fields in the table at the top of the screen are tied to specific course requests, these alternate course requests can replace any course with "Allow Elective Alternates" selected in the event the course cannot be scheduled.
2. To export the course requests to an Excel spreadsheet, click the Excel icon in the Export section.
3. To print the course requests, click the Printer icon in the Export section.

Once enabled, you can begin filtering data. To add more than one filter to a column, click on the green plus sign. To delete an added filter, click on the red minus sign. Click the gray arrow for more filtering options.

Any requests already entered by administrative staff, teachers, or the student will be displayed in the table at the top of the screen. Requests entered by administrative staff or teachers will be locked from editing by the student. Students may edit entries in the Elective Alternate Course Requests table that were made by staff, if students are allowed to request that course.
Students can enter requests in the table at the top of the screen or by using the Quick List at the bottom of the screen. The Quick List is organized by graduation subject. If any requests have already been entered for a graduation subject, a green check mark will display next to the subject.
3. To enter requests using the Quick List, select a course from the pull-down next to the graduation requirement.
4. After entering the requests in the Quick List, click Save.
If an error is encountered, such as the prerequisites for a requested course have not been taken, a pop-up window will display with the error.
5. Click Cancel to close the message, and then change the request that caused the error. Click Save.
Once there are no errors, the requests are added to the table at the top of the screen.
6. To add alternate requests for a specific course, select a course in the Alternate Course 1, Alternate Course 2, and Alternate Course 3 fields.
If a primary course request cannot be scheduled, the system will attempt to schedule the Alternate Course 1. If the Alternate Course 1 cannot be scheduled, the system will attempt to schedule the Alternate Course 2, and so on.
7. Click Save to add the course requests.
8. To enter elective alternate course requests for the student instead of having to designate alternates for each individual course, navigate to the Elective Alternate Course Requests table.

The Priority field defaults to 1 for the first alternate course request entery, 2 for the next alternate course request entry, etc.
10. Press Enter to add the row.
