Description
Enter the ID number of the staff member teaching the section. The
teacher's name will appear after you enter the number. If you do not
know the ID number of a staff member, the F6: LOOKUP is available
to help you. Highlight the correct staff member’s name and press
ENTER, and his or her ID number will automatically be inserted. If you
wish to designate a section as *UNASSIGNED*, enter 000.
This will allow a room number to appear on students' schedules for
each section. It will also allow you to print a schedule for each room's
usage in Scheduling Plus. If you do not wish to enter a room, simply
press ENTER to leave it blank. You have a limit of 4 characters, either
letters or numbers.
Enter the meeting time.
The Course Length (CRS LEN) field only applies to sections of quarter
and semester master courses. It enables you to specify when, during
the school year, the section meets. If the master course length has
been entered as quarter, you will have to indicate which quarter the
section meets. Enter a number from 1 to 4. If the master course length
has been entered as semester, you will have to indicate in which
semester the course meets. Enter either a 1 or a 2.
If you are a trimester school, you will treat your trimester length courses
as quarter courses, and indicate that they meet quarter one, two or
three.
If the master course length has been entered as ALL YEAR, the length
of the section will automatically be entered as ALL YEAR and you will
not have to enter anything in the COURSE LENGTH column.
The information you enter into the COURSE LENGTH column for a
section is crucial to the following functions of Scheduling Plus:
• Entry forms can be printed for only sections that meet during a
particular marking period.
• In some circumstances, in calculating GPAs, the program will use
half credit and weight for full year courses but ALL YEAR and weight
for QUARTER and SEMESTER courses.
• Scheduling Plus uses this information when scheduling students into
courses/sections and printing schedules.
