Setting up a school on the Individual Edition

Use the Individual Edition to create a school that runs online, through the Academium portal, with no school server. Read Before you set up your school first.

If your school will have a school server, do not register here. Set the school up on the server, then sign in on the Individual Edition with the same Academium Account.

Start

  1. Install and open the Individual Edition.
  2. On Welcome to Academium SMS, choose Set Up a New School.

Step 1: Your account

Enter your name, email, a password (at least 8 characters) and confirm it. This creates your school's Academium Account, the school owner's account.

Step 2: Verify your email

Enter the six-digit code sent to your email address. Did not get one? Choose Resend code when the countdown ends, and check your spam folder.

Step 3: About the school

Enter the school name, mobile number, city, state and address, and add your logo if you have it. The full address is required.

If the logo cannot be saved, the setup carries on without it; you can add it later from the app.

Step 4: Your classes

Choose your school's structure and remove any classes you do not run. The choices are the same as on the server. See the class table in Setting up a school on a Windows server.

Click any class to remove it; removed classes turn grey and struck through, and a second click brings them back. You can add or rename classes later under Academics.

Step 5: How you assess each term

Choose your pattern, such as Two C.A.s and an Exam. These become the mark columns on your report cards, and you can change them later under Examinations.

Setting up your school

Academium shows Setting up your school… and some tips while it works. You can leave it running. It then opens Academium SMS, signed in as the school owner.

Common issues

"Please fill in all fields." / "Please enter a valid email address." Every field on the account step is required.

"Passwords do not match." Type the same password in both boxes.

"Select at least one class." You removed every class. Bring back at least one.

I closed the app half-way through. Open it again. Academium resumes at the step you reached, with your answers kept.

I want to start again. Choose Start over. This removes the account and the school, so you can register again from the beginning.
