However you got here \u2014 from a syllabus PDF or an iCal feed \u2014 every import ends at the same review step. Nothing is added to your term until you tap Import<\/strong>, so this is the place to catch anything that looks wrong before it does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Missing due dates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

iCal feeds don’t always include a due date for every item. StudiFoca flags anything that’s missing one and won’t let you import until it’s resolved, one way or another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
SOC 101 expanded: five items, each marked “Date not set” with a Set date<\/strong> button next to it. Import<\/strong> stays disabled while any warning is unresolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set a date for each item, or skip it \u2014 skipped items just don’t come in with the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
The same course, collapsed, its due dates now filled in: Aug 28, Aug 31, Sep 2, Sep 30, and Oct 14, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reviewing suggested types<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Each item also gets a suggested Type<\/strong> \u2014 Reading, Discussion, Homework, Lab Report, and so on \u2014 based on its title. Worth a glance, since the feed doesn’t distinguish an assignment from an assessment on its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
CHEM 151’s items, each with a suggested type and its due date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tapping a type opens the full list to pick from instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Critique, Final Exam, Jury, Midterm Exam, Portfolio Review, Practicum, Quiz, Recital, Other. There’s no generic “Exam” \u2014 a plain “Exam 1” or “Exam 2” typically lands on Other<\/strong> unless you retype it as a Midterm or Final Exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Importing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once every warning is cleared, the course list collapses to a plain summary and Import<\/strong> activates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
All six courses, no warnings left, ready to import.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Import complete: 6 courses, 32 assignments, 13 assessments created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two things worth knowing about what comes out the other side: new courses are created with placeholder values for anything the feed didn’t specify \u2014 grading system, instructor details, and so on \u2014 so it’s worth a pass through each one afterward. And imported assessments don’t carry over exam duration or point values, since feeds don’t typically include either; add those by hand once you’re reviewing the assessment itself (see Assessments<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":155,"menu_order":5,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_is_vendor_doc":"0","footnotes":""},"doc_tag":[],"class_list":["post-346","docs","type-docs","status-publish","hentry"],"blocksy_meta":[],"comment_count":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quixoticraindrop.com\/software\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/346","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quixoticraindrop.com\/software\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quixoticraindrop.com\/software\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/docs"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quixoticraindrop.com\/software\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=346"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.quixoticraindrop.com\/software\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/346\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":348,"href":"https:\/\/www.quixoticraindrop.com\/software\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/346\/revisions\/348"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quixoticraindrop.com\/software\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/155"}],"next":[{"title":"Assignments","link":"https:\/\/www.quixoticraindrop.com\/software\/docs\/studifoca\/using-studifoca\/assignments\/","href":"https:\/\/www.quixoticraindrop.com\/software\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/176"}],"prev":[{"title":"Importing Courses from Syllabus","link":"https:\/\/www.quixoticraindrop.com\/software\/docs\/studifoca\/using-studifoca\/importing-courses-from-syllabus\/","href":"https:\/\/www.quixoticraindrop.com\/software\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/342"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quixoticraindrop.com\/software\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=346"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"doc_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quixoticraindrop.com\/software\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/doc_tag?post=346"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
