Can we change or edit the assessment periods once the assessment is set up?

You may find you're unable to add assessment marks for all your data drops if you have set up your assessment with the wrong assessment period frequency, or set up your ad hoc assessment with the wrong date. 

You aren't able to change the assessment periods or dates for an Ad Hoc or Summative assessment once the assessment has been added to your Annual Policy. What you will need to do will depend on whether you have already begun using the assessment.

• If you have not yet recorded any assessment marks, remove the assessment from this year's Annual Policy but do not delete the assessment from your Assessment Framework. Follow the first part of this article only: Deleting an Assessment. You will then need to add the assessment to your Annual Policy again with the correct assessment periods.
• If you have already begun recording assessment marks, you will need to decide whether you want to change the assessment periods for all past years the assessment has run as well. See what you'll need to do below.

Set up again for this year

We recommend this option if you have started using the assessment this year.

1. Export any marks that you have already input from the Students > Assessments > Summative Tracking > Export page so they are not lost.
2. Remove the assessment from this year's Annual Policy but do not delete the assessment from your Assessment Framework. Follow the first part of this article only: Deleting an Assessment.
3. If the wrong number of assessment periods were created due to you setting up 6 terms instead of 3, correct this: Amending the Academic Calendar
4. Add the assessment to your Annual Policy again with the correct assessment periods.
5. Add your assessment marks to the new assessment.

Set up a new assessment

As it would take a lot of time to back-fill marks, we recommend this option if you have already been using the assessment for a while.

1. Export any marks that you have already input this year from the Students > Assessments > Summative Tracking > Export page so they are not lost.
2. Remove the assessment from this year's Annual Policy but do not delete the assessment from your Assessment Framework. Follow the first part of this article only: Deleting an Assessment.
3. If the wrong number of assessment periods were created due to you setting up 6 terms instead of 3, correct this: Amending the Academic Calendar
4. Set up a new assessment with the correct assessment periods.

For past years, you will be able to use the old assessment. For the current year onwards, you can use the new assessment for analysis etc.
