Currently, you have to turn on the online signups for everyone in order for teachers to be able to submit recommendations. It would be helpful if the teacher window is not tied to the student window. Otherwise, the students see the course request page before we are ready for online signups. In addition, we need to be able to turn off online signups by grade level even if they have not registered before. Currently, as a new Blackbaud school, all of our students are grouped in incoming students for registration rather than being grouped in their grade. It makes it difficult to do grade level online registration.
A work-around is to remove the Online Signup roles from the student role tasks in Core.
