You must have at least one of these local college managed security roles:

Academic Calendar

Term control dates established on the Academic Calendar (Term Calendar 3 tab) are carried down to a student's term record when term activated. Suppose you change one of the following dates on the Academic Calendar:

  • Fully Enrolled Date
  • Show Enrollment on Transcript Date
  • Show Statistics on Transcript Date
  • Fully Graded Date

A student's term record is "locked" to the original date(s) before the change. To update the student's term record with the new date(s), you must refresh the term control dates. Follow the steps below to guide you through the process.
