Academic Plan Time Periods

Important

Information and features vary according to the roles to which you belong and the permissions associated with those roles. For more information, contact your module manager or your campus support team.

The student terms shown and the ones available to add, if needed are determined by the following:

Your school's IPEDS configuration, which determines if your school is a 4-year or 2-year degree granting school (IPEDS Settings page)
Your school's classification definitions, which represent students' status in their movement toward completing a program or link your organization's classification codes to pre-defined IPEDS classification codes (Classification Definitions page)
The year/terms set up on the Year / Term / Subterm page

Move Requirements to Another Time Period

Add or Remove a Time Period to the Plan

Note

There are many reasons to add or remove a time period from the student's plan. For example, if a student decides to double major and adds new requirements, if a student decides to take a semester off to travel, if a student gets behind academically and needs to retake several courses, etc. You can add and remove time periods as needed from their plan.

From the page Options, select Manage time periods. The Manage Time Period page appears showing a list of all the time periods planned thus far.
To add a time period:
1. Start typing the name of the year/term you want to add and select it from the list of those that appear.
2. Click the Add time period button. The time period will be added to the student's plan and available for assigning requirements.
3. Repeat steps a and b to add additional time periods as needed.
4. When you're done adding the needed time periods, select Back to plan layout from the page Options drop-down button. The Manage Time Period page reappears.
To remove a time period:
1. From the time periods shown, click the remove icon. If there are no requirements assigned to the time period, it is removed.
2. If there are requirements and hours assigned to the time period, the confirm remove pop-up window appears. To proceed, click the Yes, remove button. The confirm remove pop-up window closes and the requirements associated with that time period now appear in the Unassigned Requirements section of the student's Academic Plan page at the top of the window. You'll need to assign these requirements to a new time period to ensure the student's academic plan and registration process aren't impacted.
3. Repeat steps a and b to remove additional time periods as needed.
From the page Options drop-down button, select Back to plan layout. The student's Academic Plan page reappears.
