How do I convert courses that are semester length or less from SIMS to NC WISE?
When a school’s timetable has a course that is actually a semester or less in length but is scheduled two or more times in a school year in different semesters using the same section number the course will convert to a year long course. For example, you have a semester length course, 00002A, which has been scheduled in semester one with a section number of 01. And you also schedule the course in semester two with a section number of 01. The SIMS-to-NC WISE conversion routines will convert these 2 semester-long courses into one (1) year-long course. If the course is truly a year long course, then the same section number must be used in all semesters. For example, if you have a course 0001A that is a year long course and you schedule it in semester one with a section number of 01, then semester two of a two semester school must also have a section 01. If the course is truly a semester-long course, the section number of the semester-long course in each semester must be unique. For example
