When to Commit the Master Schedule

When your schedule is as good as it can possibly be, school is no longer in session, and before running the end-of-year process; commit the master schedule.

When you commit a master schedule, it replaces any existing master schedule for that school year.

To ensure that attendance is set up properly, your "live side" school year should be created before committing your schedule in PowerScheduler. Also, when committing a master schedule, course information, including credit hours, is retrieved from the district level in PowerSchool.
