There are two sessions in the school day, AM and PM. By law, schools are required to record an attendance mark in each session of the day for every school-aged pupil.

Session marks can be recorded in separate tutor period in the morning and afternoon, they can also be recorded during a [[Mapped periods|mapped lesson period]]. Session registers are displayed in PARS with a red [[Register symbol]].

The time when the AM session stops and the PM session starts is called the "AM/PM cutoff time" and should be set to ensure that mapped lesson marks are written to the correct session.

To set the AM/PM cutoff time:

* From the [[PARS main menu]] select [[System Management]] -> [[Registration preferences]]
* Click "Operational Preferences"
* The time is set via the first preference on the list.

If you want to alter the time when session registers take place, the [[Registration preferences#Registration times|Registration times]] section of the [[Registration preferences]] menu is where you can do this.
