Team Scheduling Update Utility
This program will provide the user a way to mark students with a team and course sections with a team to have students scheduled to course sections with the same team name.
- This team can then be chosen in the setup box of the Automatic Scheduler to align students and course sections for the student's class schedules. Note that if the teamed course section is full, then the student will be placed in another course of the same name that is not tagged as a team. This is done to keep the student from being added to the Abandons list.
