Sending results to Academium SMS

If your school uses Academium SMS, send Surepass scores into the matching exam mark sheet in SMS, so you do not type them again.

Before you start

  • Your session, term, classes and subjects must have come from SMS. See Academium Sync.
  • In SMS, the subject must be on an exam for the current term, with a mark sheet for this class.
  • All theory answers must be marked in Manual Grading.

Sending the scores

  1. Open Report Center → Class Result, choose the class and subject, and click Load Results. Resolve any conflicts.
  2. Click Prepare for Academium.
  3. Choose Academium Exam. Only SMS exams with a mark sheet for this class, section and subject are listed.
  4. Check Mark Distribution & Mapping: which Surepass assessment type fills each SMS component (for example CA1, CA2, Exam). Components with nothing mapped stay empty.
  5. Choose Push Mode:
Mode What happens to scores already in SMS
Fill Missing Only students with no score get one. Others are left alone. Use this the first time.
SurePass Wins Scores from Surepass replace those in SMS. Other scores in SMS are kept.
Nuclear Every existing score is wiped and replaced. This cannot be undone.
  1. Check the Preview: what each student's score will become.
  2. Click Push to Academium.

The Class Result then shows Last pushed to Academium, with who sent it and how many scores were added or overwritten.

Staff chosen under Result Push Notifications in Academium Sync are told in SMS when results arrive.

With Academium SMS

Once the scores are in SMS, they are graded, positioned and authorised there, and printed on report cards. See Positions, comments and authorising results and Printing report cards. Send scores before results are authorised in SMS, so they are included.

Common problems

"No exams found in Academium for this combination". In SMS, add this subject to an exam for the current term (Exam → Timetable), then try again.

Some students have "No Academium link". They were not brought across from SMS. Import them in Academium Sync → Students.
