Board Occurrence Roll Forward

Use the Bulk Occurrence Roll Forward screen to roll forward all associated exams, curriculum links and qualification aims from one board occurrence to another.

Note: You are required to create the new board occurrence beforehand.

You can roll forward examination occurrences either in year or year on year (for example: you might be using the occurrence roll forward to set up all the same City & Guilds exams in FEB 2018 from JAN 2018, or you might be rolling forward all the BTEC exams from the 2017/18 academic year to the 2018/19 academic year).

The roll forward process will only roll forward exam detail records that are flagged as active.

When choosing to roll forward the qualification aim, the system will first check if the same qualification exists on the rolled-forward course that existed on the exam in the source exam occurrence. If so, it will attach the same qualification to the new exam occurrence. If the system detects that the same qualification does not exist, it will use the current default UIO qualification aim from the rolled forward course.
