    Note: If your school allows past and future schedule changes, and you want your schedule change to be effective on a past date, do not specify a future date on the Workspace page. When posting the change, you will be able to set the effective date to a past date when in the School view.
    Note: If your school allows past and future schedule changes, you will see Workspace Mode at the top of the page when in the School view. If your school allows future schedule changes, but does not allow past schedule changes, you will not see Workspace Mode at the top of the page.

      • If you see Workspace Mode at the top of the page, select Future.
      • If you see View and make changes as of at the top of the page, use the date picker to select the date you want the change to take effect.
        Note: If you do not see Workspace Mode or View and make changes as of at the top of the page, your school does not allow future schedule changes. See your Aspen system administrator.
