Semester Switching
Switch between Semester 1 and Semester 2 while preserving all your data.
How Semesters Work
ReportRocket organises your work by semester. Switch between semesters to access different reporting periods.
Switching Semesters
Step 1: Find the Semester Selector
The semester selector appears at the top of your dashboard.
Step 2: Click to Switch
Click the current semester to see options:
- Semester 1, [Year]
- Semester 2, [Year]
Step 3: Confirm Switch
Select your target semester. The page refreshes with that semester's data.
What Carries Over
When you switch semesters:
| Data | Behaviour |
|------|-----------|
| Classes | ✅ Carry over |
| Students | ✅ Carry over |
| Reports | ❌ Fresh start per semester |
| Settings | ✅ Carry over |
| Usage quota | 🔄 Free: per semester; Pro: on renewal |
Why Separate Semesters?
- Clean slate – Start each semester fresh with new reports
- Historical access – Switch back to view old reports
- Usage tracking – generation credits tracked per semester
- Reporting alignment – Matches school reporting cycles
Mid-Year Students
New Students
Add them in your current semester – they'll be available going forward.
Transferred Students
Students who leave mid-year:
- Deactivate – Keeps records, hides from lists
- Delete – Removes completely
Accessing Previous Semester Reports
- Switch to the previous semester
- Navigate to the student
- View their completed report
Reports are read-only in previous semesters – you cannot edit historical records.
Usage Reset
Your AI comment allocation varies by plan:

- Teacher Pro: 100 comments per 6-month purchase window — resets on renewal, not on semester change
