School's Out for Summer - What Do You Do?
Want to get a ahead on the 2009-2010 year? Take a moment to review this list. We’ll cover many of these in more detail down the road.
- Take a good look at your Academic Year in Configuration. Ensure the correct marking column set is associated with your session, check the starting and ending dates on the terms, and enter your scheduling calendar so your attendance cycle days are correct for the whole year.
- Ensure the first cycle day is correct on the academic year terms. If the starting cycle day is wrong, the cycle days in attendance will be off for the entire term.
- Refresh yourself on drop, withdraw, and transfer (BB134926). Be sure to enter a withdraw date on the term so you can withdraw students from classes instead of dropping them.
- Activate (BB386252) the new Academic Year and marking columns in Faculty Access for the Web. Your faculty can get started entering assignments.
- Learn the Walk-In Scheduler (BB146715). Even if your students are scheduled, you may get some last-minute change requests or a few new students.
