Below is the list of Standard Codes used in North Carolina, along with example Codes and Names for the associated Day Events.
The Code and Name of a Day Event are determined by the PSU. Any Day Event that represents shortened instructional time or non-instructional time must be assigned the appropriate Standard Code.
More than one Day Event may be associated with the same Standard Code. However, each Day Event must have a unique Code and Name.
PSUs may also create Day Events for local use. If a local Day Event does not indicate shortened instructional time or non-instructional time, a Standard Code is not required. For example, “First Day of School” may be used as a local calendar indicator and does not define instructional time.

PSUs are advised that if the Name/Code are changed after the day event has been used, it will orphan records in the day setup where the code was used previously. PSUs are advised to not make changes to existing code and names, only add Standard Codes.
Day Events are only required to be added to days that are not Instruction or Attendance.
