Term Type Setup

Infinite Campus is adding a new field in Course Information and Section Information to assist with extracts identifying when a section is happening. The field is Term Type Override and must be completed on each course, with any exceptions to the default set at the section level.


Course Information

The term type can be set in the course information tool and will show in all sections. The steps below will provide guidance on updating the term types at the course.

Navigation: Menu > Scheduling & Courses > Courses > Course Information


Select a Course: If a course is not selected, click Open Course Search tool to search by the course name or course number. Search for courses using advanced searches or Ad Hoc Filters as needed. Click the course name to open the course information tool. If a course was already selected, the course information tool will open automatically for that course when you follow the navigation above.


  • Select the appropriate Term Type Override from the dropdown that aligns with the term length used for the majority of sections (e.g., Semester 1, Semester 2, Yearlong). Ex: If most sections are Semester 1, choose this option and then update any remaining sections to the correct term length.
  • Click Save to update the course information and populate the term type fields on the section information screen.
