Set the Schedule Year

Because course requests can be made for the current year or for other scheduling years, you must set the schedule year for student requests made in PowerScheduler, in the PowerSchool Student and Parent portal, or on the Requests Modify Future page in PowerSchool.

For example, set the scheduling year to 2015-2016 if you want students to enter course requests for the 2015-2016 year. In this case, the request Screen Setup function in PowerScheduler will apply to the 2015-2016 school year. The student's requests made through the Requests Modify Current page in PowerSchool will apply to the 2014-2015 school year. For more information about student course requests, see Student Course Requests.
