Shifts

You can use the Shifts page to configure the shifts you can select when you: 

  • Schedule classes in Anthology Student (Select the Class Scheduling tile.)

  • Associate calendar items to shifts for student in Anthology Student (Select the Configuration tile > locate Academic Records > select Calendars.)

  • Customize Terms in Anthology Student (Select the Students tile > select the name in the Students list > expand Academic Records > select the Degree Pathway tile.)

  • Are completing the Student Profile in Anthology Student (Select the Students tile > select the name in the Students list.)

A shift is a block of time in which your institution offers classes, however, it can be used to group students that progress through their curriculum in a specific way. For example, you can create an online shift for all your students who attend online programs, or you can create a Competency Based Education (CBE) shift for all students completing courses using a competency model.

Prerequisites

To view the page, you must have Academics - Configuration - View authorization.

To edit the page, you must have Academics - Configuration - Manage authorization.

To edit an item associated with more than one campus, you must have access to all the campuses. For example, if the item is configured to be available at three campuses and you only have access to two of the campuses, you can view the item, but cannot edit it. When you add an item, you can only select campuses to which you have access.
