Excerpt

The first step in term configuration is collecting the parts of term (POTs) and significant milestone dates from the various schools and divisions. In fall and spring semesters, POT 1 dates will follow the CEP-approved Academic Calendar.

NOTE:
Beginning in 2024, students will be registering for summer courses during spring enrollment periods as opposed to fall. This will require changes in term configuration processes that will be noted here, as the changes are made.

Timing

Typically the call for upcoming spring and summer POTs goes out in May of the previous year. The call for fall and year-long POTs will go out in September of the previous year.

Build the master spreadsheet

Using the template

...

, build a master spreadsheet for the term being configured, filling in POT 1 dates based on the CEP approved Academic Calendar, and other POTs based on their historical dates. For summer terms, also fill in the CEP approved dates for NTC Summer.

  • Create school-specific POT templates, filling in suggested dates for them based on their dates in the previous term. Send the templates to the following people, asking them to review the dates and make changes as needed (email sample below):

titleSample Email to call for Parts of Term

Hi John.

Attached is the Grad Business parts of term template for Summer and Fall 2023.  We have prefilled the template based on your 2022 dates.  Please review and edit the dates as necessary.

A part of term is a set of dates that takes place within a semester. Each part of term must have defined start and end dates, add/drop, and refund dates. This information is used to enable departments to build their courses in CLSS and ensure successful registration for our students. 

Please review the attached prefilled template and highlight any necessary changes. This information should be returned to me by the close of business on Monday, September 26, 2023.

If you do not respond, the dates entered on this template will be used for term configuration.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Thank you,
