20150218 Terms upload

Problem: Canvas has an incomplete terms list; courses are being fed into Canvas with no term to route them to.

Solution
In Canvas, uploaded terms per Robert Jenkins' email defining start and end dates for courses, through Summer 2019

  • MS and SOD dates (2148, 2149, etc) are approximations until further notice.
  • Dates are formatted as UTC so they change at midnight Houston time

Yes I approve.

Pragmatic - what you are doing will solve immediate problems and allow
everyone to continue to do business in the short term.

Idealistic - The ISSR I submitted to Teresa will allow us to receive
continually up-to-date, official term information directly from the source
and automate updates in Canvas so that future work is eliminated.
