Among the course data settings for sections, there is special circumstance data to edit as part of the course section. This data is not used day to day but needed when doing state reporting and building your master schedule. This unique information is spread across three tabs. Each tab is detailed below with instructions on how to edit the information.

In jmc Office, get started by going to Schedules > Course > Edit Course Data and click the tab you need.

Constraints tab

The master schedule builder needs to know what terms and periods a section can be offered before building the section into a master schedule. Let's look at how to set the available terms and periods, or constraints, for the section.

Step One: Click "Edit" next to the desired course section to begin editing the constraints for a section.

Step Two: Place a checkmark under the "Terms" column for each term available when scheduling the section.

Step Three: Place a checkmark under the "Periods" column for each period available when scheduling the section.

Step Four: Enter a course capacity limit in the "Capacity" field if you wish to limit the number of students allowed to be scheduled into the section.

Step Five: Click the "Update" link to save the constraint modifications for the section.


State Specific - Section tab

Teachers tab

The Teachers tab allows you to specify additional teachers for a course section. Mark the appropriate fields in the Teachers tab if required to do so by your state department of education.

Step One: Click the "Edit" link next to the desired section to assign an additional teacher to a section.

Step Two: Select an additional teacher from the "Teacher 2" drop-down list if you have a second teacher in the classroom.

Step Three: Your state department of education may require certain additional section course data fields. To ensure successful state reporting please fill out the remaining appropriate fields.
