| Nesterenko Software - Course Request Verification Assistant |  |
The Course Request Verification Assistant Application is provided no-charge to any user of other Nesterenko Software apps.
This is a MS Access application only. A 'Web' version exists for other apps, but not this app.
As of now (Dec 2024) the app only works with Aspen data.
We have not been able to generate the needed Course Request Verification CSV data from PowerSchool. If you find a way, let me know.

The main reason for creating this application was to be able to generate a 'Course Request Matrix Report'.
View Sample Course Request Matrix Report
This report is very useful when analyzing course placement, especially when 'tweaking' the Master Schedule towards the end of the Timetabling process. It is very helpful when placing single-section courses.
There are a number of other reports as well. Some of these reports are helpful in determing possible errors made by students in making their course selections.
I have offered this application no-charge to any school.
The schools that have indicated that they have used it have told me that it is very useful to them. It has become an integral tool in the timetabling process.
I recommend that you use it. Presumably, by the time you get to this application, you will be comfortable with the 'flow' of these applications and it will be very easy to use.
