Description

When one imports a course from Banner for the current year, Banner may have, e.g. Fall and Winter data, but no Spring data.

At a later date, it will suddenly have Spring data.

We need to figure out what IPA's behavior will be: automatically import the rolled over term (probably?) or something else?

Research direction

Start by tracing the Banner import flow for a current-year course and compare behavior when Fall and Winter data exist before Spring data appears. Define the expected handling when Spring is later added, including whether the rolled-over term is imported automatically, then document the decision and verify the import behavior.
