Term Association Copy & Build Student AYs

You can use the Term Association Copy & Build Student AYs page to copy and build academic years for students. The purpose of this dual process is to allow a preconfigured term association track to be copied to any other similar program version sharing the same configured start setup in Configuration > Academic Records > Start Date. Additionally, staff can schedule a job to build the individual student academic years that have been added to the term association configuration. The Schedule Student AY Build can be used at any time to evaluate students in program versions selected during the job creation and ensure they have the latest academic year in configuration added to their sequences.

Requirements:

  • Program Versions are configured with an academic calendar and academic year type. If it is a Scheduled Academic Year (SAY), the Summer usage must be selected.

  • Terms are configured for the type of academic calendars used by the school and shared with the relevant campuses.

  • Start dates are configured and shared with the relevant campuses and program versions. The term start dates should match the loan period start dates.

  • At least one program version has term association configured to use as the "Template Track" to apply to other program versions.

Term Association Copy

You can copy a term association track from a configured program version and apply it to other program versions as long as the following criteria are the same:

  • Academic Calendar
  • Academic Year type
  • Uses Summer

Within the Term Association form, select a program version and select Preview Academic Years. After selecting a Start Date, select Next. The system validates the first term from the template term association track against the first term for previously configured tracks. The results display only program versions with matching values for the first term in the template, the target program version, Academic Calendar, Academic Year Type, Uses Summer, and Start Date.

Note: The first term validation the system performs is to avoid overwriting pre-existing term tracks for program versions sharing a start date across multiple campuses, but one of those campuses is using different terms.

Select the desired result from the list and use the Queue Copy functionality to copy that configuration to your selected program version.

Schedule - Build Student AYs

The purpose of this is to allow the system to add/build individual student academic years based on the newly configured Academic Years. Within the Schedule - Student AY Build tab, you can schedule the process using the same program version criteria and Start Date that is available in the Term Association Copy.
