Student schedules are generally created by entering a list of requested courses for each student in the school. When the master schedule is complete, web2school can use the student course requests to create student schedules. In the course of creating those schedules students may not have every request fulfilled. Students may not be assigned to a requested class because it conflicts with a more important course, there are not enough seats or the student is not in the correct grade level. These conflicts are recorded as the student schedules are built and must be resolved manually. In some cases, making minor adjustments to the master schedule and reassigning students to classes resolves a portion of the conflicts. In other cases the resolution lies in editing the student schedule manually and determining which requests will be honored and which will have to be replaced with other courses.
If the resolution to a conflict is to delete a course from the student schedule and then add a different requested course in its place, the conflict can be removed automatically. When the resolve conflicts box on the Add Course to Student Schedule window is checked, those conflicts that correspond to a course number being added are resolved. For example, if a student requested course 422 but did not get it because the course was full, the program lists that as a conflict. If later the administrator enlarges the class size and adds 422 to this student's schedule, that particular conflict is resolved and is deleted from the database. Others may still remain for that student.
If the resolution to the conflict is that the student must choose a different course, the conflict is not automatically removed. To remove it from the database, you must select the Conflict window on the Student Schedule. See View Schedule Conflicts for additional instructions.
