Academic Period Tag Assignment, Calendar Association, and Enhanced Search and Filters

Assign tags to academic periods to differentiate different types of academic periods such as semesters and trimesters. The list of tags is based on the tags that are associated with the Academic Period tag group. You can add or remove tags from a tag group on the Manage Attribute Tags page.

Academic Period Tags

Registrars can also run a batch process to associate periods with academic calendars. An example is that you can organize 2023-2024 Fall, Spring, and Summer periods into an academic year calendar.

Here’s what the new Sync Academic Periods to Academic Calendars process does:

• Creates and syncs academic calendars corresponding to reporting periods.
• Maps academic periods within the reporting periods to the corresponding academic calendars.

NOTE: You must run the process regularly to make sure that newly created or updated academic periods are associated with the correct academic calendar. Newly created periods aren’t associated with an academic calendar until you assign them to a parent reporting period and run the Sync Academic Periods to Academic Calendars process. This process is essential to ensuring that users can select the correct academic period when managing courses and course sections.

These new features also mean that you can search and filter academic periods more efficiently. You can search by academic calendar and tags. You can filter search results by tags.
