Toward the end of one session, and before a new session begins, there may be a time when both sessions are active in your Jackrabbit database (because the old session is still in progress but enrollment has begun for the new session).
Follow these steps to maintain two sessions simultaneously and ultimately archive the old session.
Step 1 - Create the New Session Drop-down
To begin transitioning from your current session to a new session you must first create a new session drop-down using Gear (icon) > Settings > General > Drop-down Lists (left menu) > Class > Session. See Class Sessions for more details.
Example
The current session is Spring 2023, and your organization will soon begin registration for your summer classes. Create a new session drop-down named Summer 2023.
Step 2 - Copy Class Session
If the new sessions' classes will be similar, use Classes > Copy Classes to copy an entire session to another session. Enrollment can be copied at this time as well if applicable.
Step 3 - Edit New Classes
Once you have copied the classes into the new session, you may have changes that need to be made to class details.
Make edits to the new session classes as needed using Classes > Edit All Classes.
Step 4 - Archive Old Session
Once the older session has completed and all tuition fees have been posted in that session, archive the old session using Classes > Archive Classes. This will place the class(es) into 'hibernation'.
