Importing from Academium SMS

Bring records across in this order: classes first, then students and staff.

Classes & Sections

  1. Open Academium Sync and the Classes & Sections wizard.
  2. Tick the classes to bring across. Each row shows the section (arm), class level and number of students, and whether it is New or Synced.
  3. Click Sync Selected.

Excluded Classes: add class names that should never come across, such as an alumni class. Matching classes are hidden from the list.

Students

  1. Open the Students wizard.
  2. Select a Class from the classes you synced, and optionally a section, then Load Students.
  3. Tick the students and click Import.

New student accounts use the password password123. Students can change it after signing in.

Staff, School Owners and School Admins

  1. Open the Staff wizard. Switch between Teachers, School Owners and School Admins.
  2. Tick the people to bring across and click Import.

Staff sign in straight away with their Academium password.

If two staff in SMS share an email address, Surepass shows Duplicate Staff Detected. Groups with one new entry are sorted out for you; otherwise Choose one, or Skip both.

Subjects

Open the Subjects wizard, tick the subjects and click Sync Selected.

Common problems

"No synced classes yet". Import classes before students.

A class is missing from the list. It may be in Excluded Classes, or not active in SMS for the current session.
