Academic Terms

Within LiveText, an academic term is a division of an academic year, the time during which a school, college, or university offers courses. These divisions may be called ‘terms’, ‘semesters’, ‘quarters’, or ‘trimesters’, depending on the institution and country. Institutions often define their academic terms in their Student Information System (SIS), including specific start and end dates for each term.

Students and faculty will be able to view multiple terms, and adjust settings to display a specific term within the Dashboard tab. Faculty will be able to create, manage, edit, and delete course-based items for future terms in the same way they are able to for the current term.
