Copying Assessments to this year, next year or past years

If you need to add any assessments, do so from the Assessment Catalogue page using the green button. Click here to see how to add a summative assessment, for example. Follow the instructions in Step 1 only, then return to this article.

Once you have checked if your Assessment exists in your Assessment Framework, you can copy it to a past year's policy. Just follow the instruction in the 'Copying Assessments to this year' section below, but instead select the past academic year from the drop-down menus.

Go to Students > Assessments >  Assessment Framework. Check you will be using the same assessments next year.

If you need to add any assessments, do so from the Assessment Catalogue page using the green button. Click here to see how to add a summative assessment, for example.  

Go to Students > Assessments > Annual Policy > Assessable Courses. Click the green button to select your courses.

On the next page, use the drop-down menu to select the next academic year.

Tick all the courses that will be assessed next academic year, then click Save Changes.

If you'll be using custom assessment periods for your assessments you'll need to set them up. Just go to Students > Assessments > Annual Policy > Assessment Periods.

Change the year menu to next year, and click +Add to add any new periods.

In the slide over, add your custom periods then click Create Periods.

Go to Students > Assessments > Annual Policy > Manage Assessments to add your assessments to next year’s policy. Use the drop-down menu to select the next academic year.

Click the green button to add an assessment to your Annual Policy.

You can then select an Assessment type, and select which assessment to add to your policy. Then click Next. We recommend setting up one at a time if you can.

On the next page, select the groups of students you would like to include in the assessment, how often the assessment will be taken, and add any courses to be linked. We recommend you do not select the whole school. Then click Add assessment(s). 

Please note: If you have summative assessments linked to curriculum assessments, you will need to copy the summative assessment first and then copy the curriculum assessment. 

Once assessments have been added to your policy, you can click an assessment on the Annual Policy > Manage Assessments page to see and edit the information about an Assessment, or to complete the setup.
