Schools that want to build in a predefined "grace period," or extension to the contract graduation date, to account for snow days, holidays, and events without having to configure them in the calendar can designate a numerical value for that time missed.
The grace period provides the school the ability to add a predefined number of days as a built-in cushion, which is added to the contract graduation date.
To set up the grace period, first log into your Prestige system from your administrator account. Then, follow the steps below:
- Click on "Setup & Customization" in the left-hand menu
- Click on "System Options"
- Use the filter to find the option quickly (see the example screen shot showing "grace" as the filter name)
- Enter in the numerical value of days you want to add to the contract graduation date (currently restricted to the # of days in the calendar year)
- Click "Save" when you are finished.
Configuring this option will apply the grace period globally to your student body and staff regardless of status (ie. Full-time, Part-time, LOA).
