This feature enables the contents of a previous Course to be copied into a new iteration of the (same) Course.
- It can be used for Courses that happen once a year, or Courses that have multiple Rotations per year. It is also used to roll Courses over from one Academic Year to another.
- For example, to copy the Foundations Course from Year 1 in 2018-2019 to Year 1 in 2019-2020, you can roll the Course over from the previous year and make any necessary changes for the new year.
- Alternatively, if the Foundations Course occurs in the Fall and again in the Spring term, the (Fall) Course can be rolled over into the Spring term.
NOTE: In Leo, a Course is defined as/synonymous to a Section or Rotation.
