Preamble
Schools may wish to restrict certain students from selecting certain courses when using Edval Choice.
This could be due to a number of reasons, such as not completing a prerequisite course, or that it is contrary to the teacher's advice that they take this course.
There are two methods available to achieve this:
- Forbidden courses
- Pre-requisite requirements
This document explains the first option: Forbidden courses.
For the second option, refer to: E10 - Choice: Setting Course Prerequisites
Forbidden courses webinar
The following video from a recent webinar gives an overview of Forbidden courses.
There are two ways to enter Forbidden courses constraints:
- via a csv file import
- Manually editing by student
Import Forbidden courses
This method is useful where there are many students to be restricted.
- Set up a single csv file with 2 columns with column headings: 'StudentCode' and 'CourseCode'.
Only one file can be imported per dataset, so where a multi-year dataset exists, include all year levels in the one csv file.
- Navigate to Lines > Elective data > Students > Action: Import forbidden courses
- Select Import
- Browse to the location of your csv file and select the file
- The data will be imported
- Sync the file to upload the forbidden course information to Edval Choice
Manually edit Forbidden courses
This is useful if there are just a few students to be restricted.
- Navigate to Lines > Elective data > Students
- Click on the relevant student's name
- Right click on the student's name
- Select 'Edit forbidden courses'
- Tick any courses the student is forbidden from selecting, OK
- Sync the file to upload the forbidden course information to Edval Choice
Refer to E10 - Choice: Forbidden Courses in Edval Choice for information about how Forbidden courses are handled for students in Edval Choice.
