Reserve courses

Students can often make an initial choice if you require them to specify one or morereserve courses for all courses (or for courses that you know from experience are likely to have a low take-up). Once this choice has been made you as timetable scheduler will see from the number of students which courses have to be offered more frequently and which courses can be cancelled.

If you wish to enter reserve courses, right-click on the column heading 'Alternative Courses' in the left section of the student-course-choice window. This will switch to the display of reserve courses, and you can enter reserve courses in the same way as entering alternative courses.

If a course for which a reserve course has been entered is now cancelled, the reserve course will automatically be assigned to the students affected.
