Join a School

After signing in for the first time, you must request access to your school before you can use Master Schedule. An administrator at your school approves the request and assigns your role.

Request access to your school

1. After signing in, the school picker appears automatically.
2. Select your school from the list.
3. Click Request Access.
4. A confirmation message appears telling you your request is pending.

Waiting for approval

Your screen shows a pending message until your administrator approves the request. You do not need to stay on the page — sign back in any time to check your status. Approval updates in real time, so the app opens automatically as soon as an admin approves you.

What happens when you are approved

Your administrator approves your request and assigns you a role — Viewer, Staff, or Admin. The next time you sign in (or immediately, if you are on the pending screen), the app opens to the Validator.

Request access to an additional school

If you work across multiple schools, you can request access to additional schools without losing your current access.

1. Click your name or avatar in the top-right corner.
2. Click Request access to another school.
3. Select the additional school and submit the request.
4. An administrator at that school approves or rejects the request independently.

Once approved, you can switch between schools from the user menu without signing out.

Switch between schools

1. Click your name or avatar in the top-right corner.
2. Under Your Schools, click Switch to [school name].

The app reloads with data for the selected school. Pending school requests appear in the list but cannot be switched to until approved.

Next step

Once your access is approved, learn how to navigate the app.
