The Terms tab is where the Administrator can define the time frames for reporting or course completion for the school. A term determines the pacing schedule which is based on course activities and number of working days in the term.
Terms:
- Never inhibit a student from working; they just set a pacing guide.
- Can be rescheduled which allows flexibility for self-pacing.
- Can be used in report generation, for example, to see if students are on pace.
Caution
When making any modifications, edits, or changes to a current term’s Begin or End date, this action automatically makes adjustments to coursework pacing for any enrollments assigned to the term being edited. This means if you make any edits to the term Begin or End dates, all enrollments assigned to the term are automatically rescheduled and new Due dates are calculated based on the "school" and "no school" days for the assigned term.
