Users with the proper role permissions can create Academic Sessions, which represent periods of academic instruction, such as semesters or school years. Date ranges may overlap; for example, you might have Fall, Winter and Spring for interims and use marking periods for another type of assessment. They may also vary by school type.
- Go to Rostering > Academic Sessions.
- Click the Create New button.
- In the Academic Session Setup window, enter the following:
- Title
- Academic Session Type: Select Grading Period, Semester, Term, or School Year.
- Sourced ID
- Parent Session: Unless you are creating a School Year, you must select a Parent Session. School Years are the highest level and cannot have a Parent Session.
- Start and End Date: Select dates from the calendars.
- Click Submit.
