This document describes how to use the schedule board and functions within the schedule board process under Step 4 of the Master Scheduler.

The schedule board can be organized by departments (which is displayed in the image above) or by teachers. The periods are listed based on the Bell Schedule linked to the enrollment period.

To the right of the schedule board subjects are listed and organized by department. The course code and course name is listed along with a fraction which signifies the amount of sections scheduled/amount of sections needed.
