Generate Exam Meetings

After exam settings are configured and an exam session is created for a term, the system is ready to automatically generate exam meeting records.  The process of generating exam meetings creates new section meetings for applicable courses. Each course section meeting type that has an exam will have a corresponding exam meeting.

The exam meeting generation process can be repeated if required to add new exam meetings due to configuration or data changes.  In this case, when the Create Exam Meetings option is repeated, the user is prompted with the option to either generate new exams for new courses OR simply update exam type preference configuration for existing exams. See Update Exam Type Preferences for more information on the latter.

If the exam requires the same room or preference as its parent section or 2x seating, these attributes are applied when the record is created.   Likewise, if the parent section is in a cross-list group, the exams will be cross-listed as well.
