TIPs OF THE WEEK

Not seeing the correct Semester on the Scheduling Tab QPrint button? REMINDER:
Reset parameters on your QPrint Student Schedule Report, by following this path: Office/Current Scheduling/Print Student Schedules – Select Regular or Viper Format, Select Students By “Individuals” and select any student name. When the parameter range comes up select “Print Schedules for Term: All Year or Semester 1 whichever you prefer. Make other selections and #Save the selections. Your QPrint will now print out your new selections.

NO Show Button: I
t is our recommendation that you do not use the No-Show Button on the Entry/Withdraw tab in WESPaC. There are multiple issues surrounding this feature which are currently defective and/or not functioning for our state.

Year Start Documents have been updated and added to the NWRDC website.
If you are unable to attend one of our many Year Start Working Sessions – please visit www.nwrdc.net and hover over Student to select the Documentation link. If you need the generic user name and password, call 425.349.6570 for the secret answer.
