School settings
School Settings holds your school's details and the choices that apply across Academium SMS. Open it from School Settings → System Settings in the sidebar. You need the School Settings permission to change it.
Settings are kept per branch. If your school has more than one branch, check you are in the right one before you change anything.
General
- School name, branch name, email, mobile number, address, city and state. These appear on receipts, report cards and the sign-in screen.
- Timezone, date format and language.
- Weekends. The days your school does not open. Registers cannot be taken on these days, and attendance totals and report cards ignore them. Schools that open on Saturdays can untick it here.
Currency
Choose your currency, its symbol, whether the symbol goes before or after the amount, and how amounts are formatted.
Admissions
- Admission number prefix. Turn on Enable Prefix and set your institution code to put a code in front of every admission number, for example ABC/0001.
- Admission No Digit and Admission No Start From set how long admission numbers are and the first number used.
- Unique Roll makes roll numbers unique.
Fees
- Enable Fee Fine switches on late-payment fines. Fine setup and the fine report only appear when this is on.
- Due Days and Due Fees Calculation With Fine decide how overdue fees are worked out.

| Report card logo | Report cards and result sheets |

Appearance: your school's accent colour
Pick the colour that Academium uses for buttons, links, the active menu item and highlights. There are 22 colours to choose from. Click one to preview it across the app, then Save. If you leave without saving, the old colour comes back.
The accent colour is per branch, and the sign-in screen uses it too. It is separate from light and dark mode, which each person chooses for themselves.
Common issues
"Check the highlighted fields." A required field is empty or not in the right format. The fields that need fixing are marked.
My logo does not appear on report cards. Report cards use the report card logo, not the school logo. Upload one under Logos.
