We don't turn on all the student's schedules until the first day of school because we hold the paper version of their schedule if they have not met the financial requirement by a date before school starts. If we could put a hold on the viewing of these few kids schedules we could eliminate the paper version of the student's schedules.
This functionality is available in the new Holds feature which replaced the previous exclusions in July 2021.
While this works for the Schedule tab, students can still see their courses on the Progress page. This negates the Hold!
We have found that withholding schedules, when everyone else has theirs, is the most effective way to motivate those who haven't made payments at the beginning of the school year. We have gone through time-consuming ways to do this and it is not ideal. I would love to see something implemented to accomplish this.
I absolutely support the idea of including a way to hold individual student schedules. It would be most helpful to have a hold as a motivator to take care of various obligations throughout campus.
We usually, put holds on view their reports cards, but preventing viewing of schedules would also be helpful.
We also struggle with how to deal with students who have not met their financial obligation. We would like to prevent them from viewing schedules
