Assigning Dependent Sections in PowerSchool
Assigning dependent sections in PowerSchool allows the individual doing scheduling to create several courses that will be added to a student’s schedule at once. When the host section is added to a student’s schedule any dependent sections will also be added to that student’s schedule.
When Setting up Dependent Sections
To set up a dependent section you will need the following:
- Course Number/Section Number
- Sections must be created prior to adding a dependent section
Locate the host section in PowerSchool
On the Sections page in PowerSchool (Start Page > Schools > Sections), open the section that you are assigning dependent sections to.
Add Dependent Sections
Open the section and in the field labeled Dependent Sections (course.section, course.section, etc.) enter the course number + . + section (0135004511.5,0202024211.5,0203002511.5) for all courses you wish to be linked.
