This job aid is designed to provide instruction in the process to generate and print a Counseling
List report. Although it can be used as a tool for data analysis, its primary use is to identify a list of
students with marks of D or F in one or more district courses, during a specific time frame.
Users with the Principal, Scheduling Administrator, Counselor, Counselor Plus, and/or Office
Manager roles have the ability to perform the tasks in this document. This job aid was created using
the Counselor role at a senior high school.
