Student Schedule Changes Notifier

The Student Schedule Changes notifier, available in the Systems hub, sends a notification to the members of the notification group of the students that have made changes to their schedule either by dropping, adding, or withdrawing from a course. The notification includes the date of the most recent schedule change along with the current number of enrolled credits. If the notification is set with Include Details flagged, the course information for each change will be included. Students who have made more than one change will only appear once. All schedule changes from the last time the process was run are included. The notifier can be limited by Division, Campus, Department, and/or Level. It is recommended that this notifier only be activated after the scheduling period has ended, during the drop/add period.

To add the notifier, click Add. Select the Student Schedule Changes notifier from the Notification Type dropdown.

Enter the SONIS ID of the user who should be recorded as the Notification Owner Sonis ID field. A user must be designated. Check the Include Details box to include individual students’ course information for each schedule change identified. If users elect not to Include Details, the notification will display schedule changes in a summary format.

Enter a descriptive message to be included with the notification in the Group Notification Message field. This field has no character limit and is an opportunity to provide a call to action or reminder of how the notifier should be used by the recipient. In the Group Notification Method dropdown, select the type of notification that should be sent: Email, External Text, None, Reminders, or Reminders and Email.
