Student Reauthorization
Student Reauthorization allows teachers to identify where students will be scheduled during the next billing period in order to help automate the billing process, as well as the scheduling process.
If the setting, Reauthorization - Ability to post grades within reauthorization is enabled, the screen name changes from Student Reauthorization to Post Grades.
You have the ability to reauthorize for full year windows. In order for you to reauthorize via full year windows the following criteria must be met: Marking periods course registration set for full year, Grade posting window is full year, and Courses have Reauthorization / Bill By Reauthorization type setup via the Vocational/WDIS tab of Courses & Sections.

You also have the option to select any other active courses within the same program that the student should register for next.
