Create / Edit Classes

By using the import method, AccuClass will automatically have all your classes available in the system.

To import classes into AccuClass you must first create a .CSV file with all the classes data.

To create a Class, click Create New, and then fill in the following info:

• Schedule: Select the day of the week in the drop-down box to add days that the class occurs. Adjust the times and set the classroom. (A sample will be given if none have been created.)
• One-time Meetings: Use this section to set the schedule based on specific dates instead of recurring days of the week. You can use these in combination with the days of the week but if these date/times overlap a regularly scheduled time then the regularly scheduled class will be deleted.
• Allow signing-in early by: Select the time you will allow students to sign in early by (in minutes).
• Allow signing-out late by: Select the time you will allow students to sign out late by (in minutes).
• Check sessions after saving:</b> select Manually if you are changing the schedule manually from a previously saved class if not select Automatically.
