Tool Search: Academic and Graduation Programs

The State Edition Academic and Graduation Programs tool gives State Edition Users (e.g. Curriculum Directors) more functional options to manage their State Academic/Graduation Plans. These options facilitate standardization of plans for students in a state.

This tool is currently only available in North Carolina.

State Edition View vs District Edition View

The tools at the State and District level have similar capabilities, with the following exceptions:

When creating new programs...	State Edition View	District Edition View
Users creating programs at the State level do not see the School and Flagged fields in Program Details. Users creating programs at the State level do not currently see the Course Plan Template tab

After a State Managed Program has been published to Districts:

Users at the District level...	District View

Will see "State Managed" in the summary information indicating when a State Managed program was published or modified.

Select Publish to publish the selected programs to all districts.
A notification will be sent to the Message Center for District Edition users with appropriate tool rights.

Message Center - District Edition Users

When programs are published to districts, a notification is sent to the Message Center at District Edition. A quartz job runs overnight and sends the message to the District Edition users who have appropriate tool rights. District users will need tool rights to Academic and Graduation Programs as well as Course Management if they are to get Message Center messages about updates.

The notification is considered a State Notification and looks similar to this.
