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
- Navigate to the Calendar via the link in the top bar.
- 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.
- Click the New Vacation button.
-
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.
-
Optional: Add a Vacation Name.
-
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.
- Click Add Vacation to create the vacation and shift assignments.
Edit a Vacation
- Navigate to your vacations (see above for instructions), and click on the vacation you want to edit.
- Edit the vacation and click Save.
