Example 1 - Quarter Courses
...
# Terms = 2
# Periods = 1
Most high school credit courses are semester based. Those worth 1.0 credits are broken into two components, for example:
920010.1 ENGLISH 9 (X) - this would be offered 1st semester, and set up as shown:
...
920010.2 ENGLISH 9 (Y) - this would be offered 2nd semester, and set up as shown:
...
Most 0.5 credit courses, such as 950005 - HEALTH can be offered either semester.
The .1 and .2 at the end of the course numbers indicate the semester they should be placed in. Semester courses that can be offered either semester will end with a 5. The complete list of course numbering standards can be found here: Course Numbering Standards
Example 3 - Year-Long Courses
# Terms = 4
# Periods = 1
Most middle school core courses (not for HS credit) are year-long. Career Technical Education (CTE) courses are also typically year-long. These have course numbers ending in “0”.
Examples:
802000 - MATH 8
980200 - CARPENTRY
These would be offered for the entire year and set up as shown:
...
# Terms = 2
# Periods = 2
These are not used very often, but when they are, you must use the designated course number with a “B” “B” at the end of it. If there isn’t such a course, you can request one to be created. Using a block schedule typically involves approval from the reform panel, so make sure you have this taken care of prior to scheduling your courses.
Examples:
900800 900800B - AP STATISTICS
980200 - CARPENTRY
These would be offered for one either semester and set up as shown:
