Academics overview

The Academic Management module is the operational core of Edurie. It gives school administrators, registrars, and academic staff a single place to define how your institution is organized — from the calendar that governs the school year down to the individual classes students attend each day. Every other module in Edurie — grades, attendance, scheduling, billing — depends on the structures you set up here.

How the pieces fit together

Edurie models academic activity as a hierarchy of nested containers. At the top sits the Academic Year, which breaks into Terms, which break into Periods. Within a period, teachers deliver classes, and students are enrolled into those classes through enrollment records.

Academic Year  └── Academic Term        └── Academic Period              └── Academic Stage (optional sub-division)              └── Grading Period (for grade recording)              └── Class (one scheduled instance of a course)                    └── Course Enrollment (one student in one class)

Programs and Curricula sit alongside this calendar hierarchy. A Program (for example, BSCS or Grade 7) defines the degree or course of study. A Curriculum attached to that program lists every course a student must complete. When you create classes for a period, you draw from that pool of curriculum-defined courses.

Sections group students together. A section is a cohort tied to either a grade level (for example, Grade 7-A) or a program (for example, BSCS-1A). Sections can have classes reserved for their exclusive use, simplifying enrollment for large student populations.

Module sections

• Academic structure — Set up Academic Years, Terms, Periods, Stages, Levels, and Grading Periods: the calendar scaffold your entire institution runs on. See Academic structure: years, terms, and periods.
• Programs and curricula — Define colleges, departments, programs, and curricula. Attach courses to a curriculum so students know exactly what they need to graduate. See Programs, curricula, and courses.
• Classes and sections — Create classes, assign teachers, build schedules, configure rooms, and organize students into sections. See Classes, sections, and scheduling.
• Enrollments — Manage student enrollment records for each period, add or drop individual classes, and track enrollment history and statuses. See Student enrollments.

Recommended setup order

If you are configuring Edurie for the first time, follow this sequence to avoid missing dependencies:

1. Academic structure — Create the Academic Year, Terms, and Periods first. Everything else anchors to a period.
2. Academic levels — Define your grade levels or year levels so that programs and sections have something to reference.
3. Programs and curricula — Create your programs and attach curricula with their required courses.
4. Classes and sections — Open classes for the current period and group students into sections.
5. Enrollments — Enroll students into the period and then into individual classes.
