Defining Year and Terms School Setup > Years and Terms Note: Set up the school year, semesters (if applicable), and any scheduling terms for each school. Create the actual terms in which the school offers sections, not grade reporting terms. The terms must be created from largest to smallest (i.e. year, semester, trimester, quarter, etc.).
