District Admin Only:
District Admin Only:
Both Campus Admin and District Admin have the ability to create courses in their assigned subaccount. Use this resource for assistance with course creation.
Pro tip: The associated template will automatically be added to a newly created course based on the selected subaccount. So, a course will inherit the PD course template if a new courses is created within the PD subaccount.
Please note: Courses should NOT be manually created when there is an autorostered equivalent that is automatically created based on eSchool enrollments. Thus, you likely should not be creating a course within the Schools subaccount unless it is for a campus club or supplemental review course.
