Then to get your full-day minutes you would add the total minutes for each period of the day as you configured them in Periods. The half-day could be half those total minutes or you could define them as all the total minutes of the first 4 periods out of a total of 7 periods in the day for example.

+===== Course special use cases =====
+Every now and then you may encounter special cases that require slightly different setup then mentioned in the https://docs.pacific-emis.org/doku.php?id=sis_user_manual#course_manager above. They will be discussed in following course sections.
+==== Two courses at the same time ====
+Some schools combine two courses into the same period and classroom. For example, Reading and Writing are two different courses with each their grades and slot in a Student Report Card. But they are taught in the same period essentially together. In this case, you simply enable Allow Student Conflict and Allow Teacher Conflict as shown below for courses taught at the same time in the same place.

+And then you would simply schedule students and teacher in both the courses just as you would normal ones.

+You will then see a comprehensive summary of your data to self assess your completeness. Basically, it summarizes:
+  * Total students
+  * Repeaters
+  * Dropouts
+  * Transfers
+  * Rolling/retention option of the student in last grade of school (that could be ideally set to transfer to their next schools, etc.)
+  * Missing attendance
+  * Missing grades
+This will not stop a rollover and will allow you to roll with incomplete data. But you would be better off paying attention to this step to increase your data quality.

 After the rollover you should see a short lived success notice. Then on your main dashboard you will see that the ''School year is ending or has ended'' message has disappeared.
