Term Codes and Sequence IDs - PERLMSU/ProjectPathways GitHub Wiki
Term codes are denoted by the semester and the last two digits of the of the year:
| code | description |
|---|---|
| FS | Fall Semester |
| SS | Spring Semester |
| US | Summer Semester |
Thus FS09 indicates "Fall Semester 2009".
The FS, SS, US format is not useful for sorting thus the following conversions follow:
| code | description | conversion |
|---|---|---|
| FS | Fall Semester | remove 'FS', append '.9'
|
| SS | Spring Semester | remove 'SS', append '.3'
|
| US | Summer Semester | remove 'US', append '.6'
|
Sequence IDs are four digit integers (x1x2x3x4) that also provide a timestamp for when a course was attempted by a student:
| x1 | x2x3 | x4 |
|---|---|---|
The first digit indicates millenium, 0 for pre-2000, 1 for 2000 and later |
the middle two digits are the last two digits of the current year | The last digit indicates term, 2 for summer, 4 for fall, 6 for spring |
