School branches

If your school has more than one campus or section that runs separately, each can be a branch. Almost everything in Academium SMS (students, classes, fees, staff, settings) belongs to a branch.

Adding a branch

The School Owner adds a branch from the Individual Edition: open the menu in the title bar and choose Add another branch. See Adding a branch.

Adding a branch is not available on a school server. Contact Academium support if your school runs on a server and needs another branch.

Switching between branches

The School Owner, School Admins and Accountants can switch branch:

  1. Choose the branch chip in the title bar.
  2. Pick the branch and confirm.

You land on that branch's dashboard. The branch chip is hidden when there is only one branch, or you are not allowed to switch.

Editing a branch

Open School Branches from the sidebar to change a branch's name, school name, email, phone, city and state. Branch names must be different from each other.

Closing a branch

Closing a branch permanently deletes everything in it. There is no undo and no backup is made.
  1. Open School Branches and choose Close for the branch.
  2. Academium shows how many records the branch holds.
  3. Type the branch's name to confirm.

You cannot close your only branch, or the branch you are currently in. Only the School Owner can close a branch.
