For the latest setup instructions, see our current <a href=\"https:\/\/support.quickschools.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/115005737323-Creating-New-Academic-Year\">support guide<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">REVIEW: Academic terms are designed to work independently of one another. So for example, if you make changes to subjects, enrolments or grades for one academic term, it will not be reflected in other academic terms. This is true even for grade levels \/ programs. If you add a new \u201c13th Grade\u201d or a new \u201cBachelors of Arts\u201d program for this academic term, it will not appear in previous academic terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But schools don\u2019t want to have to create all that data (from scratch) over and over again whenever a new academic term is created. And so we introduced this concept of archiving\/migrating the academic term. What this does is copies over all the data from the previous academic term, and copies it into the new academic term. From then on, you can make changes to the new academic term safely, without effecting information from the previous academic term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So let\u2019s go over the various ways that you can create a new academic term:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Method 1: Creating an empty academic term<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Creating an empty academic term is useful for purposes of admissions. You would then reserve the actual data archive\/migration process for the end of the academic term (so that only the latest data is copied over). This is what the screen looks like:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/semesters-1.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"809\" height=\"362\" data-attachment-id=\"825\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blog.quickschools.com\/creating-new-academic-terms-and-new-gradebooks\/semesters-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/semesters-1.jpg?fit=1019%2C456&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1019,456\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"Creating an Empty Academic Term\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Method 1: Create an empty academic term&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/semesters-1.jpg?fit=809%2C362&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/semesters-1.jpg?resize=809%2C362\" alt=\"New Semester Setup -- View All Semester\" class=\"wp-image-825\" title=\"Creating an Empty Academic Term\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This screen can be accessed via the \u201cNew Semester Setup\u201d &gt; \u201cView All Semesters\u201d screen, or via the \u201cAdmissions\u201d &gt; \u201cView All Semesters\u201d screen. Simply use the \u201cAdd New Academic Year\u201d and \u201cAdd New Term\u201d buttons to create empty academic terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember, if you use this method to create a new academic term, you should refrain from activating it, because there\u2019s no data in there. Only when subjects are created \/ copied over do the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quickschools.com\/quickschools\/features\/online-gradebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gradebooks<\/a> get created as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Method 2: Archiving and Creating a New Academic Term in the CURRENT Academic Year<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This process is a straight up \u201carchive and migrate\u201d, as was discussed earlier.
