Report cards bring together everything recorded during the term: marks, grades, positions, comments, attendance and, for younger learners, skills ratings. Nothing needs to be typed again.

## Before you print

- Marks are entered for every subject. See [Entering marks](https://helpcenter.academium.com.ng/academium-sms/article/sms-entering-marks.md).
- Positions and comments are done, and the results are **authorised**. See [Positions, comments and authorising results](https://helpcenter.academium.com.ng/academium-sms/article/sms-positions-comments-and-authorising.md).
- Your report card template is set up. See [Setting up printables](https://helpcenter.academium.com.ng/academium-sms/article/sms-setting-up-printables.md).

## Printing

1. Open **Printables → Print → Report Card**.
2. Choose the **session**, **class**, **section** and **exam**.
3. **Tick** the students. Tick all of them to print the whole class.
4. Generate. All ticked students' report cards are put into **one document**.
5. Check the preview, choose the paper size, and print, or save as PDF.

## Junior report cards

For learners assessed on skills, use the **Skills + Subjects** or **Skills Only** layout. Junior report cards can also be printed from **Reports → Exam → Junior Progress Reports**. See [Rating learners and junior reports](https://helpcenter.academium.com.ng/academium-sms/article/sms-rating-learners.md).

## Common issues

**A student's comment or position is blank.** Positions and comments have not been completed for that class. Finish them on **Position & Comments**.

**The wrong logo shows.** Report cards use the **report card logo** from [School settings](https://helpcenter.academium.com.ng/academium-sms/article/sms-school-settings.md).

**Attendance is missing.** Turn on **attendance percentage** in the report card template.

## With Academium Surepass

Scores from computer-based tests and exams in **Academium Surepass** appear on report cards once Surepass has sent them to SMS. See [Sending results to Academium SMS](https://helpcenter.academium.com.ng/academium-surepass/article/sp-sending-results-to-academium-sms.md).
