Powerscheduler Combined Courses

[stacyderrick]

I have been asked to have all 5 sections of our Honors Global course combined with only certain sections of our Global course. What is the best way to do this? Can I do this in the build process?

We have 10 sections of Global and of those 10, 5 sections will be combined with an Honors course. I have tried creating a constraint using Course Team. I have tried a Course Relationship of "Blocked for Building With" with a Relationship Type of "Simulaneous" and a Relationship Type of "Combine Into". I have tried a Course Relationship of "May be built Concurrent with". But my teachers are not ending up with these courses during the same periods.

Hi @stacyderrick,

After looking the thread over, I recommend reaching out to the PowerSchool SIS support team to assist you further on this. PowerSchool Designated Support Contacts can connect with the support team to have a look at your instance to provide the best way to combine 5 sections of the Honors Global course with only certain sections of the Global course.

Were you ever able to get this working as you wanted? If so, could you describe what you ended up doing?

We are facing a similar situation and I've been trying to find answers but the KB is a little lacking on more complex scheduling scenarios . . .

I ended up creating a "fake teacher" and assigning them the honors classes and then manually forcing them to be the same hours of the regular classes I wanted them combined with.

Did this create two separate gradebooks? I'm looking for a solution that creates one gradebook as if it is one class.
