Is there anyway that the course #’s that are being pulled from our SIS could be renamed? They are a set of numbers and not reflective of the hour. Example “Science MS17760” It would be great to be 1st hour, 2nd hour, etc.

Technically this not impossible or our tech team to do as a special request. However, Empower takes its cues from the SIS, so the simplest way to resolve this is to rename the courses there and let Empower sync. Any changes you might make to them yourself in Empower, will only be overwritten on the next sync.
