Roster Navigation

The Section Roster is a read-only screen. Students cannot be entered into a course section from the roster; data cannot be modified from the roster. However, the user can view data about the students in the course section from the roster when appropriate tool rights are assigned.

The Roster displays students in three potential sections:

  • Active Students - This is a list of students who are scheduled to attend the course and are not subject to a future start date that is after the first scheduled date of the section or a prior end date that is before the last scheduled date of the section.
  • Incoming Students - This is a list of students who have a start date that is after TODAY and after the first scheduled date of the section.
  • Dropped Students - This is a list of students who have an end date date that is before TODAY and before the last scheduled date of the section.

The following defines the fields on the Roster editor.

  • Student Picture - prints either a Small or Large picture
  • Household Phone and Address - prints the guardian's address and phone number

  • Counselor Name - prints the student's assigned counselor
  • Graduation Cohort Year - prints the student's Cohort Year from the Graduation tab

Blended Learning Groups use the following logic:

  • When the Show Blended Learning Group Summary display option is marked, but no students in the section are assigned to a Blended Learning Group, that option does not print.
  • When a student is not assigned to a Blended Learning Group but the Blended Learning Group Student Option is marked, the label prints next to the student's name with the words No Active Group Assignment.

An active group assignment is based on the student's roster start date in the section. 

  • When the roster start date is AFTER the current date, the roster start date is used to evaluate against Blended Learning Group Assignment Start/End Date to determine group membership.
  • When the roster start date is BEFORE the current date, the current date is used to evaluate against Blended Learning Group Assignment Start/End Date to determine group membership. 

See the Blended Learning article for more information.
