Create a Schedule from Scratch

Schedules are created and maintained in the Schedule Manager. You can either create a schedule from scratch — as described in this topic — or create one by copying an existing schedule.

Choosing a production, or Locked, state means that you intend to use this schedule for actual scheduling purposes. You cannot delete a locked schedule unless you remove all scheduling artifacts and reset the schedule to transient.

1. Create the schedule.

2. Configure the periods.

3. Edit the calendar as needed.

4. Enroll students.

5. Build course requests.
