For systems where the Assessment module is installed, a semester can be locked using the Edit function above.

When a semester is locked, portal users will no longer be able to update assessment scores.

 

For systems where the Assessment module is installed and an LMS Connector is enabled, the Create and Edit functions will include an option to include an LMS Name field.

This is to support matching a semester in Xitracs to LMS data.
