Application Enhancement – Online Course Recommendations

Enhancements have been made to the iPass Course Recommendation process; the goal of these enhancements is to offer to parents a clean and easy to understand list of what course requests are being assigned to a student.  And give staff members the ability to ‘undo’ steps within the course recommendation process.

• Allow a method for schools to give directions and contact information for making changes to a student’s existing course request.
• Allow Counselors to undo the approval of a recommendation.
• Allow the Recommendation screen to be read-only to parents.
• Allow school to control which school year a parent/student is entering course recommendations for.
• Allow school to control the approval checkboxes on the recommendation screen.
• Allow a teacher to delete a course recommendation.
• Allow students, parents, and counselors to add alternate Recommendation for a main recommendation.
• Allow the Course Request Verification report to be a publishable document.
• Allow school to track which parents have viewed the Course Request Verification report.
