Set up academics before you open admissions, enrollment, grading, or billing. Classes, enrollments, and grades all depend on the academic period you create here.

​
Setup order

1

Create the academic calendar

Add the academic year, terms, and academic periods. Classes and enrollments are created at the academic period level.
2

Add stages, levels, and grading periods

Add academic levels for grade or year levels. Add grading periods when teachers record grades in separate windows such as prelim, midterm, and final.
3

Create programs and curricula

Add colleges and departments if your school uses them, then create programs and attach curriculum versions.
4

Create courses

Add course records once. A course describes what is taught; a class describes when, where, and by whom it is taught.
5

Open classes and sections

Create classes for the period, assign teachers, set schedules and rooms, then group students into sections.

Academic hierarchy

​
Programs, curricula, and courses

Programs describe a course of study. Curricula describe the required courses for a program version. Courses are reusable subject records that can be offered as classes in any period.
A program can represent any course of study your school organizes around, such as a level, track, or department.

​
Classes and sections

A class is a scheduled offering of a course. It includes the period, teacher, schedule, room or resource, capacity, and reservation rules. A section is a fixed group of students who take classes together within a program or level.

​
Reservation rules

Check teacher, room, and schedule conflicts before enrollment starts. Fixing conflicts after students are enrolled usually requires manual class changes.
