Modify Course Requests

At some schools, administrative staff or guidance counselors enter student course requests directly in PowerSchool for their students. Perhaps all of the ninth graders at your school have made their requests on paper. All initial student course requests and those entering student course requests on behalf of students should enter the student course requests in PowerSchool, not in the scheduling area. Use the scheduling area to change or delete student course requests after the initial requests are made in PowerSchool.

Note: If you use need to edit a request after it has been submitted, do so in the scheduling area. For more information, see Student Course Requests.

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 [Scheduling Year] page in PowerSchool. For more information, see Set the Schedule Year.
