The selection of Departments, Number of Electives, Sign Off Message, and the Recommendation Settings can be configured differently for individual grade levels.

Course Rollover with Schedules = No will rollover Courses with the Couse Details was not rolling over Sections and Max Seats on some sites. This has been resolved. NOTE Best Practice: It is recommended that you always do the initial Course Rollover with Schedules = Yes even if you plan to build your own schedule or completely change the schedule. Once you roll it over with the schedule you can use the MSB Options to save a version "with" the schedule and then you can Clear the Schedule and save a version "without the schedule". That way you ways have a version you can revert to in the event you want to us some or all of your previous year schedule. If you do the Course Rollover with Schedules = No and decide that you actually want the schedule you can do the Course Rollover again with Roll Schedule = Yes and Override if Exists = No. This combination will rollover what is missing and not update what has already been rolled over. It is important to follow these steps if your district has already started the Online Course Recommendation process. If in doubt of what to do, contact iPass Support for assistance.
