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). Semester A courses are taught in the fall and Semester B courses are taught in the spring. If the course name does not include the letter A or B, the course can be taught in either the fall or spring semester.
~ Electives: If the course is an elective, you can enroll the student in either the fall (A) or the spring (B) semester. The same content is taught in both the A and B 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).

Before you move to the next step, make sure there are seats available in the desired course. From the Genius Dashboard, review the Total Seats by Section.
If the desired course has no seats available, then look for a similar course with available seats.
If you need to select a course that is full, please contact the eAcademy Help Desk and request an increase to the seat cap. List the course name, teacher name, and the number of required seats.

Start Dates for Full Year, Semester 1, and Semester A Courses:
Depending on when you enroll a student, the Start Date will default to either the first day of the school year (Aug. 22 2023) or the current date. For example, if enrolling a student on Aug. 18, 2023, the Start Date will default to Aug. 22, 2023. After Aug. 22, 2023, the Start Date will default to the current date.
Start Dates for Semester 2 and Semester B Courses:
If you enroll a student in Semester 2 (or B) courses prior to the start of Semester 2, the Start Date will default to either the first day of the school year (Aug. 22, 2023) or the current date. For example, if enrolling a student on Oct. 21, 2023 for a Semester 2 (or B) course, the Start Date will default to Oct. 21, 2023.
~ Prior to January 9, 2024, you must edit the Start Date for Semester 2 (or B) courses and select January 9, 2024.
~ NOTE: If you enter the incorrect Start Date for Semester 2 courses, the system will charge you. Pay attention to the course you select (Sem 1 / A or Sem 2 / B) and the applicable Start Date.
Course: From the Course drop-down menu, select the desired course.
NOTES:
~ 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.
~ Many Accelerate Education course names contain A (fall semester) or B (spring semester). Courses without A or B in the course name are semester-only courses and can be scheduled during either semester.
Section: Depending on the course you select, the section may auto-populate.
Accelerate Education A courses are taught during the fall semester and B courses are taught during the spring semester. If you selected an Accelerate Education course without A or B in the course name, select the desired A (fall) or B (spring) section.
Start Date: While typically not necessary, if you need to edit the Start Date, click once in the field to show the calendar, and select the desired Start Date or you can type directly in the field.
