Alternate Course Requests

Courses can be specified as "Alternate" courses, that is, courses that can be scheduled if the primary courses cannot be scheduled.

There are two types of Alternate Courses:

Parent/Alternative - In this case, the alternate course is a substitution for a specific 'parent' course.

Specify the Parent course.

Specify the Alternative course. (A "Parent" course may have multiple "Alternative" courses)

Generic Alternative - In this case, the alternative course can be substituted for any course in Transcript Groups 8 or 9.

NOTE - The Automatic Scheduler will NOT try to schedule the Parent/Alternative alternate courses but WILL attempt to schedule the Generic Alternative

courses if that option is selected in the Automatic Scheduler setup box.
