If you have password protection for a module, this will mean that before the program can be loaded, the user must enter the correct password. This is especially important in a multi-user environment, where there can be more than one person accessing the modules simultaneously.
Setting up a password system allows for varying levels of access to each module, as well in Student Details, password protection to the tab level. The levels of access are: no access, view access, and edit access.

This is an example of a Fixed Days (Mon. to Fri.) 40 block cycle. The 40 block cycle accommodates a range of course times. It will be able to schedule classes that meet every day of the week, classes that only meet Mon., Wed., and Fri. or even classes that meet once a week that are 3 hours in length.
