Becoming alumni

## Graduates join the alumni list on their own.

At the end of a session, when a class is promoted, each student can be promoted, kept in the same class or graduated. Graduated students become alumni of the session they passed out in.

-   **Fees settled first.** A student who still owes fees cannot be graduated. The amount is worked out by SMS at the moment of saving, not taken from the screen.

Contact records

## Each class, and how to reach them.

Choose a passing session and class to see its former students, then add or update their details.

-   **What you keep.** Mobile number, email, profession, address and a photo.
    
-   **Call from the list.** A former student with a phone number on record has a call link beside their name.
    
-   **Gaps you can see.** See how many have contact details and how many are still missing them.
    

Example counts for one graduating year.

Alumni events

## Invite everyone, or one class.

Give an event a title, start and end dates, a note and a photo, and address it to all alumni, or to the alumni of chosen classes or sections, such as a ten-year reunion for one year group.

-   **Upcoming at a glance.** Events whose end date has not passed are listed separately.
