Set up your lists of **departments** (such as *Sciences*) and **designations** (job titles such as *Vice Principal*) under **Employees → Add Department**, so they can be picked on the staff form.

A new school starts with common designations already added, such as *Principal*, *Head Teacher*, *Class Teacher* and *Accountant*. See [What Academium sets up for you](https://helpcenter.academium.com.ng/academium-sms/article/sms-what-academium-sets-up-for-you.md).
