Schoology Courses
Schoology courses may be 36-week full year courses or 18-week semester courses. To identify semester courses, look for Sem 1 or Sem 2 in the course name.
Accelerate Education Courses
Almost every Accelerate Education course is an 18-week semester course (there are a few exceptions). For the core courses, Semester A courses are taught in the fall and Semester B courses are taught in the spring. Courses that can be taught in either the fall or spring semester will include the word FALL or SPRING in the course name.
~ Electives: If the course is an elective, you can enroll the student in either the FALL or the SPRING semester. The same content is taught in both the FALL and SPRING courses.
~ Core Courses: If you want a student to complete a full-year core course, you will need to enroll the student in both A and B courses (e.g., Language Arts 3 A and Language Arts 3 B).

Search criteria: To limit the number of students, set your search criteria. In the example below, a Grade Level of 8 was selected to only view 8th graders (this criteria depends on OEAs entering the grade level for each active eAcademy student). You may also want to select Active from the Status drop-down menu.

~ Pay attention to course names so that you select the correct course. Schoology courses without Sem 1 or Sem 2 in the course name are full year courses.

For Accelerate Education elective courses: Select the desired FALL or SPRING section.
Start Dates for Full Year, Semester 1, Semester A, and FALL Courses:
Depending on when you enroll a student, the Start Date will default to either the first day of the school year (Aug. 19, 2024) or the current date. For example, if enrolling a student on Aug. 16, 2024, the Start Date will default to Aug. 19, 2024. After Aug. 19, 2024, the Start Date will default to the current date.
Start Dates for Semester 2, Semester B, and SPRING Courses:
If you enroll a student in Semester 2 (or B or SPRING) courses prior to the start of Semester 2, the Start Date will default to either the first day of the school year (Aug. 19, 2024) or the current date. For example, if enrolling a student on Oct. 21, 2024 for a Semester 2 (or B or SPRING) course, the Start Date will default to Oct. 21, 2024.
NOTES:
~ Prior to January 9, 2025, you must edit the Start Date for Semester 2 (or B or SPRING) courses and select January 9, 2025.
