Before you start, set up Course Registration.
Course Registration automatically checks for time conflicts in a student’s registration cart when a section’s schedule overlaps with another section. Time conflict validation looks for these conditions and sends warnings to the cart.
- Recurrences in course offering schedules with the same start and end dates and times
- Scheduling conflicts among sections in the same academic session
- Sections in different academic sessions with overlapping dates
The optional time conflict enforcement blocks students from registering for overlapping sections, but it ignores waitlists.
- From Setup, find and select Set Up Education Cloud.
- Under Set Up Academic Operations, make sure that Advanced Academic Operations is turned on.
-
Turn on Enforce Time Conflicts.
Time conflict enforcement is reversible.
