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.

  2. Optional: Add a Vacation Name.

  3. 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.

Adding a vacation will shift any (non-free-form) assignments scheduled during or after the vacation to the next open course day. Additionally, scheduling a vacation will not affect an assignment's duration, so an assignment's due date could end up on a vacation day.
