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](https://helpcenter.academium.com.ng/academium-surepass/article/sp-academium-sync-overview.md).
- 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. |

6. Check the **Preview**: what each student's score will become.
7. 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](https://helpcenter.academium.com.ng/academium-sms/article/sms-positions-comments-and-authorising.md) and [Printing report cards](https://helpcenter.academium.com.ng/academium-sms/article/sms-printing-report-cards.md). 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**.
