Next, check the box next to the name of the course from the To Course section on the right side of the screen. More than one course name can be selected from the left side of the screen. Only one course name can be selected from the right side of the screen. Then, click on Consolidate button located on the bottom of the screen.
Once selected, a popup box will appear asking:
By selecting yes, it will update ALL areas stated in the pop up box. By selecting no, it will only change the verbiage in the Master Schedule Editor.
NOTE - When selecting a course name from the left that has a Grade Type and the course name from the right does not, the Grade Type will not transfer with the consolidation. When selecting a course name from the left that does not have a Grade Type and the course name from the right does, the consolidated course will now have a Grade Type.
