Student Online Course Request Entry

If students in your district can log on to the Student portal a view in Aspen where authorized parents and students can access student data, including attendance, assignments, conduct incidents, and grades to view their academic information, they can enter course selections for the coming school year. Automating student requests courses that students have requested to attend for the next school term means you don’t have to manually add student course requests in order to build your master schedule for the next school year.

Schools define course selection sheets (academic tracks) for different grade levels by subject area. Teachers can enter course recommendations in the gradebook. Students make their course selections in the Student portal. Counselors and administrators can see and approve their requests in the School view.

To use student online course request entry:

• In the School view, define academic tracks and track selections to determine the lists of courses that students on a specific academic track in a specific grade can request.
• Define teacher recommendation controls. (optional)
• In the District view, enable online student request entry in the district preferences.
• In the Student portal, students enter course requests. Depending on how you define the track selection, students can view, accept, or edit staff recommendations.
• In the School view, counselors can work with, change, and approve student requests.
