Managing Vacations

Vacations automatically shift assignments in the calendar.

For example, if you have assignments scheduled from Monday through Friday, scheduling a vacation on Monday will push all assignments forward to the next available course day.

Note: Vacations won't shift free-form assignments, which need to be manually rescheduled.

Create a Vacation

1. Navigate to the Calendar via the link in the top bar.

2. Click on the Manage Vacations link in the calendar actions. If you're on a smaller screen (e.g. tablets, phones), you'll need to open the calendar action menu to see the option.

3. Click the New Vacation button.

4. Optional: Select the students you'd like to create a vacation for in the Students dropdown. If left empty, it will create a vacation for every student.

5. Optional: Add a Vacation Name.

6. Select the day (or range of days) that the vacation will take place. To select a single day, just click the new day. To select a range of days, click the first day of the range followed by the last day of the range. In this example, we're creating a vacation on the week of Thanksgiving.

7. Click Add Vacation to create the vacation and shift assignments.

Edit a Vacation

1. Navigate to your vacations (see above for instructions), and click on the vacation you want to edit.

2. Edit the vacation and click Save.

Delete a Vacation

To remove a vacation, click Delete in the vacation table.

Deleting a vacation will un-shift all incomplete assignments backward to fill the newly opened dates (the opposite of creating a vacation). For this reason, we recommend preserving past vacations.
