Add Alternate Course Requests ↑
If the option Allow Parents/Students to edit Alternate Course Reqs is selected on the Portal Options Scheduling tab, parents or students can add alternate course requests. The page will display an Alternate Requests column of Manage buttons next to the Primary Course Request section and a separate Alternate Course Requests section.

A pop-up will display allowing you to select whether this course will be added as a Primary or Alternate Course Request. For this example we are adding an Alternate Course Request. Click the Request Alternate button to add the Alternate Course Request.
In this example the English 10 CP (0302) course was added an an Alternate Course Request. Additionally, the school in this example allows up to a maximum of three Alternate Course Requests. An additional English course SH Eng Lit I (0325) has been added as well.
Set Priority of Alternate Course Requests ↑
The parent or student can set the priority of alternate course requests and link alternate course requests to primary course requests. Once the priority is set, if the primary course is not available, then the first alternate course will be scheduled. If the first alternate course is not available, then the subsequent alternate course will be scheduled. There is no limit to the amount of courses that can be linked. However, schools can set a limit to the amount of Alternate Course Requests that can be selected on the Portal Options page Scheduling tab.
To set priority, alternate courses need to be sorted in the desired order to be scheduled. To sort Alternate Course Requests, select the Priority Sort button.
The Alternate Course Requests window will enter edit mode with a drop and drag feature that allows each Alternate Course Request to be moved. A Move button with a vertical arrow will display to the left of the delete button. The Parent/Student can select the Move button of the Alternate Course Request(s) that need to be adjusted. The Alternate Course Request can be moved either up or down and placed in the desired position. Click the Done button once alternate course requests are placed in the desired order.
In this example the English 10 CP course was placed in the first position and thus will be given priority over the SH Eng Lit course when scheduling alternates.
Linking Alternate Course Requests to Primary Course Requests ↑
Once the priority of Alternate Course Requests is set, the student can link the Alternate Course Requests to the selected Primary Course Requests using the Manage button in the Primary Course Request section. The Manage button is used to link one or more alternate course requests to a primary course request. The number of alternate course requests assigned to a primary course will also be displayed. There is no limit to the amount of alternate courses that can be linked to primary courses.
Select the Manage button to link alternate course requests to primary course requests.
Clicking the Manage button will open the Manage Alternate Request Association window for the selected course. The alternate courses will be listed in the priority order that was previously set. The parent or student can then select the check mark to the left of the alternate course or courses that will be linked to the student course request. Click the Save button to save the selections and close the window.
In the example below the parent or student has linked two alternate courses to the English 10 (0311) course.
