How to Edit Academic Year Begin and End Dates

If you have to edit the start and end dates for an academic year you have found the right place. These steps will walk you through the correct updates to make including reconciling the school days you might have created.

NOTE: In most cases, you will have to edit your edit academic year begin and end dates at some point because most schools create their academic years several years in advance to set up the Leads module so this is a very common task.
