How semesters work

A semester is a date range that contains all of your data. Classes, lessons, units, students, grades, and attendance all live inside a semester. If you're setting up your first semester, see the quick start guide → When you switch semesters, you see only the data that belongs to that semester.

When a term ends, create a new semester and start fresh. Your previous semester's data is always there — just switch back to see it.

Create a new semester

1. Click the semester selector at the top of the sidebar.
2. Click Create New Semester.
3. Set the name, start date, and end date.
4. Click Create.

Switch between semesters

Change your active semester from two places:

• Sidebar — the semester selector at the top of the left navigation.
• Settings page — the Active Semester dropdown.

When you switch, everything updates — classes, timetable, planner, grades, and attendance all filter to the selected semester.

Starting a new semester

When you create a new semester, you start with a clean slate. You'll need to set up your classes, timetable, and students again for the new term.
