If the Add Course toolbar is missing from the Course Request tab of the Student Profile, the student has NOT been assigned a Scheduling School and/or Scheduling Grade.
Course Request Toolbar
- Requests are generated by entering the Course Number, selecting the Course Group, or using the Department or Subject menu with the Course Name menu to locate the course.
- Users can change the course priority for an individual student request by selecting a different Priority from the corresponding menu. Users may also select additional request parameters from the Request Type, Semester, Section/Class, and Resource Section menus. Options available from the Request Type menu include:
- Teacher Request – The student is requesting a class taught by this teacher.
- Not this Teacher – The student is requesting a class NOT taught by this teacher.
- Section Request – The student is requesting a specific section.
- Pre-schedule This Section – The student will be scheduled into the chosen section prior to the Sectioner fulfilling any other standard requests for the course. If this cannot be accomplished, the student will not be scheduled for this class.
- Not this Student – The student is requesting placement in a class without a specific student. When placing the requesting student, the eSD Scheduler and Walk-In Scheduler will check the current roster of potential classes to ensure the selected student is not already enrolled. If this cannot be accomplished, the student will not be scheduled for this course.
- Select Save to submit the request or select Reset to refresh the Course Request Toolbar. Saved requests appear under the Approved / Pending Request heading and are highlighted in blue initially.
Manage Requests
- Select the A next to any Course to create an alternate.
- Any already submitted alternates appear in the Alternate Course column. Multiple alternate course requests can be added to a primary course request.

The P icon indicates the request was generated from the Parent Portal, while the S icon indicates the request was generated from the Student Portal. The O icon indicates requests entered by all other methods. Hover over the available icons to view the specific user account that generated the request.
