Mass Add Students to Courses/Classes - Skyward Student

INSTRUCTIONS - Mass Add Students to Course/Classe allows you to use Homeroom list of students and mass add them to the rest of their courses. (00HRM/001 to 00LNG/001, 00MTH/001). We recommend that you run this in August before school starts however you can run it early in Future Scheduling. This utility will have to be run for each homeroom course/section separately.
