Terms

Purpose: To define the start and end dates that are considered to be each term/semester for your college. This can be used for reporting purposes later and general organization on the Students', Tutors', or Instructors' Class Assignments/Registration.

How to Access: Administration > Terms

This is among one of the first things a College administrator must do in the Accudemia system to make the system functional.

Adding a New Term/Semester

Click on the  + New Term  button. You will then be able to enter starting and ending dates for your term/semester.

The General Information tab includes:

  • Name - Name of the term you want to add.
  • Start Date - This is the beginning of the term you want to add.
  • End Date - This is the End of the term you want to add.
If your Accudemia is running periodic imports and you create the Term manually, make sure that the name of the Term in the info matches the name here.

Once finished click the  Save Changes  to continue.

Modifying a Term/Semester

To modify an existing term/semester, first click the term/semester in the list. Once in the General Information tab you will be able to change the Name, Start Date, and End Date accordingly and click the  Save Changes  button at the top of this screen to finish.

Deleting a Term/Semester

To remove a term/semester first select the term/semester in the list, and then click the Delete button at the top of this page. A message should then appear saying: Are you sure you want to delete the selected terms? click Yes to continue.

A term/semester cannot overlap with another one so these are primarily used for reporting periods not necessarily matching the actual term dates. Your Centers can help determine what reporting terms/semesters will be used in Accudemia. These are not intended to be used with multi-track terms/semesters that have start and end dates over the top of one another.
Due to Accudemia being a Center Attendance Management System it is recommended that if you require overlapping semesters for Classroom attendance you look into purchasing AccuCampus, our “Student Retention focused” Center & Classroom Attendance Tracking System, or AccuClass, our Classroom Attendance Tracking System.
