Term End
Term End is a process that is run to close off one term and move to the next. It is actually a series of activities that can be run separately; they are grouped here only for convenience. Also note that it may not be possible to define a clean term end point depending on the degree of overlap in your terms.
Term End is started at Utilities | Archive Maintenance | Term End. The initial dialog will then appear.
This asks you to specify the next term, to indicate whether to change student academic standing, the add/drop processing date (and if so what that date is), and/or the id series (and if so what the new series is. On clicking Proceed, the following processes, in the term end sequence, are completed, although most have the option to cancel if the operator wishes to skip them.
- Updating Current Student Term Records (which is the same as Scanning For Missing Or Redundant Records)
- Change the ID series and current term information (which can be done in the System Parameters window)
- Resets the academic and student standing (which can be done as part of the Academic Standing process as well as through the Global Processes in Current Students, particularly Student Related | Global Update Student Status)
- Change the Processing date, (which can also be done in the System Parameters window)
- Recount the earned and advance credits for each student and update the year of study (which can be done through the Global Processes in Current Students, particularly Student Related | Recalculate Year of Study)
- Purge Old Applications (which can be done through Global Processes in Current Students, particularly Application Related (both items))
