One or the other pre-req in PowerScheduler

echerb — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 16:47:27 GMT

We have "off" hours on our PowerScheduler and if students want, they can only select one or the other. How would we set up a prerequisite in PowerScheduler so that if students select Off Hour 1 they can't select Off Hour 2 or vice versa?

I'm very new at this, so not sure if this would work, but I would try adding a PQ for each class with the Rule Type "None of" and then add the other class to it. So for example Off Hour 1 would have a PQ with "None of Off Hour 2." If that doesn't work, I wonder if a combo of "none of" and "concurrent" might be feasible.

Maybe you could set up the request screen using Single New Course Requirement and associate it with a course group containing those two courses. This way students could only request one course or the other.
