To see more information about a course (assignment scores, attendance data, etc.), select that course from the grid. A side panel opens that includes the course information, section information, any recorded attendance for that day, assigned scheduling teams and access to view posted grades.


This can be done from the Calendar view in the Day or Week displays, and in the Term view (the Term View does NOT display attendance information).

Screenshot of the student's assignments, attendance, etc. for a specific course.

If a student does not have a scheduled course during a particular period, the period displays as such.

Screenshot of no scheduled courses.

Calendar View Navigation

When displaying the schedule in the Calendar view, the student's schedule can be displayed for the Day, for the Week, or in an Agenda layout. See the Calendar View section for more information on each of these options.


Automatic scrolling to the current time of day occurs when viewing the schedule. If a counselor is looking for a specific student at 10:15, opening the schedule tab lets the counselor see which class that student is in and where.

Screenshot of the available schedule views.

See courses that are not assigned a time to the far right (or below the schedule, depending on your screen size). These could be advisory periods or homeroom classes, or after-school sporting events or after-school club meetings.

Screenshot of the courses that don't have periods.

When in the Calendar view, the selected date always displays the current date. Use the left or right arrow keys to navigate to future dates or past dates. If viewing a future or past date, click the Today icon to return to the current date. To choose a day in a different month, click the current date and navigate through the pop-up calendar.

Term View Navigation

Choose the Term View button to display the Schedule organized by the term (Quarters, Trimesters, etc.).

  • For schools that use multiple period schedules, the schedules are labeled within each term.
  • For schools that use more than one term structure, the switcher in the top right displays options to navigate to the correct term structure.

Periods where the student is not scheduled into a course section are gray and the field displays No Scheduled Course.


Periods where the scheduled course section does not meet (school holiday or other non-instruction day) are gray and the field displays No Scheduled Course.


Diagonal gray bars indicate the calendar does not contain courses in those periods for those days.

Screenshot of the Term view

Determine what displays in the schedule grid by turning on or off certain Settings.

Screenshot of the Settings options.

Select which Terms and Period Schedules to display by expanding the Filter dropdown and removing the Terms from the Term list and removing the selection of the period schedules from the Period Schedule list. The green checkmark to the left indicates the term or period schedule is selected and displays in the schedule; thos without a checkmark do not display.


All terms and all period schedules are automatically selected.


The Filter only displays when there is more than one term and/or one period schedule.

Screenshot of the Term and Period Schedules selection

In the Term view, see dropped courses in the date in which they were dropped. The currently active course displays at the top of the period. This requires Dropped Courses to be selected in the Filter.


In this example, for Term S2, Period 3, the student dropped the Homeschool course on March 26 (last course listed), enrolled in Photography starting March 27 and dropped on April 2, then added Modern Literature on April 3.


The student must have dropped courses in order for this option to display.


The Calendar view only displays actively enrolled courses.

 

An Active Course is defined as a course that is not yet dropped, which has one of three impacts, depending on the context of the course:

  • If the course met in a previous term, "active" means the roster placement for the student either has a blank (null) end date or the end date is the last date of the term.
  • If the course meets in the current term, "active" means the roster placement for the student either has a blank (null) end date or the end date is greater than or equal to the current date.
  • If the course meets in a future term, "active" has no real meaning, as all future courses are considered active regardless of the start or end date.

Certain calendar formats, particularly at elementary schools, do not display well in the Week view, because of the amount of schedules, periods and classes. Consider using the Day or Agenda views instead.

Agenda View

The Agenda view lists the student's courses in a planner type of view, with the date, time and course. The current time and course is not highlighted in this view, but recorded attendance does display for course in which it was recorded.

Screenshot of the Agenda ViewAgenda View

The Term View displays the student's courses for selected Term and each selected Period Schedule. Choose the Filter to select which terms and periods display.

When first accessing this view, all terms and all period schedules are selected. For a school using more unique formats for student schedules, like middle schools who are experimenting with the best learning for students, this view could get rather large.

Filter Options and Settings

The Filter and Settings allows users to choose what displays in the schedule grid and how it displays. At the beginning of a school year, it might be useful to see all terms and period schedules, but as the year progresses and Term 1 is over, this term can be removed, so only the current and future terms display. Or, a user doesn't want to the see course numbers and section numbers in the schedule grid, just the name of the course. All of these can be set per user and changed as often as needed.

Screenshot of the Filter Options and SettingsFilter Options and Settings

Both the Filter options and the Settings panel remember selections made, meaning once a selection is made (filter) and saved (settings), the options remain even when navigating away or logging out of Campus, and is remembered the next the user logs in.

Filter Options

When first accessing the Filter, the schedule grid displays all terms and period schedules, both active and dropped courses, and any special days marked on the Calendar Days tab, like Responsive Scheduling Days.

Some filter options may affect the searching and placing of courses on the grid. Messages display when these options may need to be changed or to remind the user that not all items may be shown in the grid due to filter selections.

Remove the selected terms by clicking which Term or Period Schedule to not show in the Schedule. Terms and Period Schedules without a checkmark DO NOT display in the schedule. In the example below, terms Q1, Q2, and Q3 are selected to display. Q4 is not selected and courses scheduled into that term do not display.

Show only courses in the main Period Schedule. Removing period schedules from view is helpful when there are many responsive or special days (see the previous information on this option) or when there are several rotating schedules for a school in a middle or elementary school, for example.


In this example, the calendar has four terms and four period schedules. The first image shows all of these options selected. Notice that Term 4 doesn't display without scrolling and there is no way to determine which periods are connected to which period schedule.


The second image shows all but one period schedule selected. This makes viewing the courses for that period schedule manageable, and all terms display without scrolling.

Print

Print the student's schedule in any selected view by choosing the Print button at the bottom of the page. 

  • The Current View prints the student's schedule in the selected view (Day, Week, Agenda, Term). 
  • The All Terms view prints the courses on the student's schedule for all terms.
  • The All Terms Course View prints all of the student's courses on one page.
  • The Student Requests prints a list of the courses the student requested.

Reports print in PDF Format and include identifying information about the student (name, grade level and student number), which terms are included in the print, and the total unique number of courses into which the student is scheduled. Unique courses are defined by the course number; a student scheduled in two different sections of the same course (e.g., Study Hall with a Course Number of 123 but two different sections 123-1 and 123-2) counts as one course.

If a user has removed certain terms by modifying the Filter bar selections (for example, printing the schedule report for only Term 4), only those options selected in the Filter bar are included in the print.

Screenshot of the default schedule reports. Print View of Default Schedule Report

A report can also be printed for Periods without Times Only and Periods with Time Only. If there are no periods without times in the Schedule, the Periods without Time Only print option does not display. These periods can be left without assigned times, or if there should be times assigned to these periods, modify the Period Schedule to add the correct period times.

Other reports that display here for printing are created using the Preferences Reports tool in System Administration. See the Schedule Report Preferences article for more information.

There could be several schedule reports listed, including those for other schools if the student has multiple enrollments. These display if the user has rights to the other calendars.

There are certain schedule setups that may not print correctly:

  • In Week view, up to three skinny courses print for one day.
  • In Day view, up to six skinny courses print for one day.

Tool Rights

Access to the Student Schedule needs to be assigned either through the Counseling toolset OR the Student Information toolset. While the Schedule functions the same way from either location, tool rights to the Counseling location operate interdependently of tool rights assigned to the Student Information location.

Tool rights assigned in Counseling do not equal the same rights assigned in Student Information, and vice versa.

Full access to the Schedule tool in Counseling requires R rights to the following items:

  • Student Information > Counseling > General > Schedule
  • Student Information > Counseling > General > Schedule > View Attendance
  • Student Information > Counseling > General > Schedule > Grade Book
  • Student Information > Counseling > General > Scheduling Messenger
  • Student Information > Counseling > General > Schedule > Schedule Messenger > User Group Formats
  • Student Information > Counseling > General > Schedule > Additional Enrollment Schedules

In addition, R and W rights are required for overriding strict student constraints:

  • Student Information > Counseling > General > Schedule > Can Override Strict Student Constraints
  • Student Information > Counseling > General > Schedule > Can Overload Sections

R and W rights are necessary for access to the Walk-In Scheduler. D rights allow users to remove (delete) students from a Course Section.

  • Student Information > Counseling > General > Schedule

rights to Student Attendance are necessary (in addition to D rights assigned to schedule) to delete the course when the student has attendance records associated to the section.

  • Student Information > General > Attendance

Access to Student Schedule tool through the Student Information toolset:

Full access to the Schedule tool in Student Information requires R rights to the following items:

  • Student Information > General > Schedule
  • Student Information > General > Schedule > View Attendance
  • Student Information > General > Schedule > Grade Book
  • Student Information > General > Scheduling Messenger
  • Student Information > General > Schedule > Schedule Messenger > User Group Formats
  • Student Information > General > Schedule > Additional Enrollment Schedules

In addition, R and W rights are required for overriding strict student constraints:

  • Student Information > General > Schedule > Can Override Strict Student Constraints
  • Student Information >General > Schedule > Can Overload Sections

R and W rights are necessary for access to the Walk-In Scheduler. D rights allow users to remove (delete) students from a Course Section.

  • Student Information > General > Schedule

rights to Student Attendance are necessary (in addition to D rights assigned to schedule) to delete the course when the student has attendance records associated to the section.

  • Student Information > General > Attendance

Note that Calendar Modify Rights take precedence over tool rights. If a user is assigned the recommended tool rights, but not modify rights to the calendar, updates to the schedule are not made.

Schedule Information in Ad hoc Query Wizard

Student Schedule information is available in the Query Wizard for Student data types. When building Student data type filters, the fields are available in the Learner > Schedule folder.
