Apparently Schedule Maker does not look at Transfer Courses and their Course Equivalent in determining which students can request certain courses. So the 10th grader that transfers in having completed Algebra I last year will not be credited with completion of the Geometry prereq, despite the transfer course showing as the Course Equivalent of Algebra I. Any advice on how to handle this beyond exceptions/special handling for the next three years?

    One solution can be to load a recommendation for those students - even if they don't meet the prerequisites, if they have. a recommendation they will be able to request the course.  I haven't imported recommendations before - just added them in the schedule builder - but you might want to look into that import.
