Sims - Academic Year

[KElliott]

Hi

Our academic year normally runs 1st September to 31st August, this year they want it to start on 31st August. On SIMS.net we've already created it with the originally dates, but we've not put the timetable over or done any promotion stuff, or admitted any students. What is the best way to fix this, delete academic year and recreate or can you edit the dates in an academic year? Also, does anyone know how long either of those options may take?

I'd be interested to know if anyone sees an issue with this, I thought academic years need to start on 1st Sept? Will this mess with attendance and census returns, or worse still course manager?

 

Many thanks to anyone who can offer some insight or advice.

You can edit the dates of the academic year and there should be no problem with this if you do it now before the year starts.

 

Starting the academic year in August should not cause any problems, for Sixth Form funding purposes (i.e. Course Manager) it is based on the year starting 1st August.
