In <\/span>QuickSchools<\/span><\/a>, academic terms are self-contained, meaning that when you edit\/create subjects and enrollments in one semester, it does not affect other semesters within your account. Before activating a new term, we recommend checking out this article: <\/span>Checklist when Transitioning to a New Term\/Semester<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

To activate the next term, go to New Semester Setup > View All Semesters > click <\/span>Activate<\/span><\/i> across the new term:<\/span><\/p>\n


\nActivating the next term<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Note<\/span><\/i>: If you have not added the new term, click the <\/span>Add New Semester <\/span><\/i>button to create one.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, copy info<\/b> (Recommended)<\/span><\/i> – the system copies all data from the active term into the new term. Subjects and enrollments are carried over – so you\u2019re pretty much all set for the new semester. Note that some modules are reset so you\u2019ll have a fresh semester to accommodate new data. This way data are separated by terms. Modules like Gradebook, Homework, Class Discussions, and Scheduling are blank when you start a new term.<\/span><\/p>\n

So all students won\u2019t have assigned grade levels, no homeroom enrollments, and no subject enrollments. You\u2019d have create the student grade levels and homerooms, then assign to students. You also need to create new subjects and enroll the students accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n
