Purpose: Use this document as a reference for refreshing term control dates.

Audience: Student Records staff

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

Academic Calendar

  • ZD SACR Found Tbl Config Inq
  • ZD SACR Term Config
  • ZD SR Super User
  • ZZ SACR Term Config

Batch Term Activation

  • ZZ SR Batch Term Activation

If you need assistance with the above security roles, please contact your local college supervisor or IT Admin to request role access.

Term control dates established on the Academic Calendar (Term Calendar 3 tab) are carried down to a student's term record when the term is 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. You must refresh the term control dates to update the student's term record with the new date(s). Follow the steps below to guide you through the process.
