Advanced:
Use Block scheduling if you want to create a more advanced periods schedule. For example, if you use alternating ‘A’ and ‘B’ days; or if the schedule changes depending on the day of the week; or if you want to establish minimum days, etc.

If you switch to Block Scheduling, you need to do the following:
1. Click the ‘Use Blocks’ control.
2. Define Periods
3. Create Blocks (i.e. ‘A’ block; ‘B’ block, ‘Minimum Day’ block)
4. Click to include periods into each block. For example, if on Mondays, only periods 1,4,5,and 7 are in session – include these periods. If a Minimum Day includes periods 1,2,3, and 4, then include these periods into the block.
5. Important: In the Calendar interface, right-click on each day in the term, and assign a block to each day. If you do not assign any blocks to days in the calendar, then there will be no classes scheduled.
