TIP
Enter Holidays BEFORE you schedule courses. The system will look at the Holiday calendar when creating the Room Use records and skip any holiday dates entered.
- The system populates the Course Time field with a text description of the days and time. E.g. Tu and W from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
- The system creates Room Use records for each session of the course. These can be customized if needed (e.g. one session meets at a different time or location). Click the Room Use button to see the session records.
- If you have enabled Room Conflict Checking (on Course Preferences), the system warns you if there is a room conflict.
