Full Year Schedule and No Average Rule Scenario

On this page:

The following rules apply when a building has full-year courses, or a combination of semester-length and full-year courses, and does not use the average rule.

Credit is issued on a semester mark.
Each course in the Master Schedule that prints on a transcript must have this mark type.
Credit calculates on the local course and moves to the state course when you run the Build Course Equivalency option.
On the PEIMS Course page, every course must have a course sequence code where the length matches the number of semester marks that the course issues. For example, a full-year course with two semester marks could have a sequence of 12 to indicate sequences 1 and 2 of a state course.
