Built around your school day

## Less chasing.  
More running your school.

Registers, fees, results and people. Bring the moving parts together.

Every school day counts

## Every school day. Accounted for.

Keep student and staff attendance connected, from the daily register to the end-of-term report.

-   **Take everyone’s register.** Mark students and staff in groups, then adjust individual absences and lateness.
    
-   **Leave holidays to the calendar.** Public holidays appear automatically. Weekends and holidays stay out of school-day totals.
    
-   **Report cards, without recounting.** Attendance totals and percentages come straight from marked registers.
    
-   **Know who needs a nudge.** Catch Up flags missing registers; the dashboard identifies classes and teachers to follow up.

School fees, from charge to receipt

## Every charge. Every payment. In the picture.

A clear bill for the family. A clear balance for your school.

-   **Your fee structure, carried through.** Fee groups bring your charges and due dates together for a class or an individual child, without rebuilding each invoice.
    
-   **More than tuition.** Assigned transport and hostel charges join school fees on the same invoice, with their own payments and outstanding balances.
    
-   **Part payments. Full clarity.** Full and partial payments update what is paid and what remains. Receipts and payment history keep the details within reach.
    
-   **Room for individual circumstances.** Discounts and fee exclusions adjust a child’s bill without losing sight of the original charges or the changes made.
    
-   **Balances don’t disappear at term-end.** Earlier unpaid balances stay visible. Due-fee reports, reminder rules and optional late fines help your school follow up.

One family. One wallet.

## Siblings share more than a surname.

One parent’s balance can cover the children linked to their family.

-   **Funds ready when fees are due.** Recorded top-ups become a family balance, ready to pay selected charges without receiving a new payment for every child.
    
-   **The whole family, in one view.** Linked children’s bills come together, while payments still belong to the right child and the right fee.
    
-   **School fees. Bus fares. Boarding.** Wallet payments reach regular, transport and hostel fee lines on the family’s invoices, including part payments.
    
-   **Every movement leaves a record.** Top-ups, payments and the balance after each movement stay in the transaction history. Payments are checked against available funds.

The accounts behind your school

## Money in. Money out. Nothing lost in between.

Follow your school’s money beyond the fee collection desk, including the taxes behind it.

-   **Every movement has its place.** Fuel, supplies, refunds and deposits keep their categories and references. Income, other inflows, expenses and outflows stay distinct, with running balances and account statements.
    
-   **Less recording the same payment twice.** Linked fee collections, transport and hostel payments feed the ledger. Recorded salary payments stay linked to payslips, and reversals keep the original entries traceable.
    
-   **Adjustments that balance.** Journal entries keep debit and credit totals together, with drafts, posting and reversals for your accounting work.
    
-   **Bring the bank and the books together.** Bank reconciliation helps match statement movements to your records and identify differences. Deleted transactions remain available for review.
    
-   **Tax figures with the detail behind them.** PAYE calculations use your tax bands and staff deductions. Exemptions, monthly reports and remittance records keep payroll tax in view; fee-tax reports show tax collected by fee type and payment method.

SMS + Surepass

## From the exam room to the report card.

Set your school’s assessment rules, then turn teachers’ marks and Surepass results into grades, class positions and report cards.

-   **Let SMS do the maths.** Your grading rules turn recorded marks into totals, averages, grades and positions.
    
-   **Put Surepass results to work.** With both school servers, reuse SMS records in Surepass, then review the marks before sending them back.
    
-   **Make the report yours.** Bring marks, attendance, skills and remarks into your chosen report layout.
    
-   **Publish when you’re ready.** Catch Up spots unfinished results. Authorise marks and decide when parents can see them.
    

One school. A connected assessment journey.

SMS school records → Surepass assessment → reviewed marks in SMS → school reports.

Progress has more than one measure

## Give every learner the right kind of report.

Give younger learners a report that reflects their skills, development and classroom progress.

-   **Assess what matters.** Choose the skills, categories and rating scales your school uses.
    
-   **Fit the assessment to the class.** Each class can have its own skill categories, so learners are assessed in the areas that suit their stage.
    
-   **Record what teachers see.** Give each learner individual ratings and written remarks.
    
-   **Spot unfinished assessments.** Completion badges show which learners still need skill ratings, without opening every student’s record.
    
-   **Share the full picture.** Use skills-only or combined subject reports, with attendance and class broadsheets.

One child. A growing school history.

## Carry every child’s story forward.

From their first day to their next chapter, keep each child’s records, milestones and support connected.

-   **Keep the family connected.** Parent details and sibling links stay with the student’s profile.
    
-   **Find the whole record.** Find documents, fees and results together.
    
-   **Move up. Keep the history.** Promote, record repeats or graduate students while retaining earlier enrolments.
    
-   **Move students. Keep the trail.** Transfer between classes, sections or school branches, with dates and reasons recorded.
    
-   **They leave. Their story stays.** Keep departure dates and reasons on file. Restore active enrolment if a student returns.
    
-   **Scholarships that lighten the fees.** Fixed or percentage awards can cover a term, a session or several sessions. Approved scholarships reduce eligible fees automatically.
    

**Student profile** A record that grows with the child.

The people behind the school day

## Look after the people who look after your school.

Staff records, everyday requests and payroll belong together. So do the people serving your school through NYSC.

-   **Keep a record for everyone.** Keep staff details, documents and salary records in one profile.
    
-   **Give leave requests an answer.** Staff submit requests; your school reviews and records the decision.
    
-   **Let salary rules do the maths.** Salary structures bring allowances, deductions and overtime into payslips, with adjustments for a single pay period.
    
-   **Help now. Recover through payroll.** Requests keep amounts, reasons and decisions together. Issued salary advances are recovered from the selected month’s pay.
    
-   **Keep pension contributions in view.** PFA accounts, employee and employer contributions, remittances and each employee’s contribution history stay organised.
    
-   **Look after your NYSC team.** Posting details, service dates, status, school allowances and discharge records stay linked to each corps member’s staff profile.
    
-   **Keep salaries moving.** Payslips follow your school’s approval steps. Catch Up highlights waiting decisions, and payment records show who has been paid.

Answers already in your records

## Less searching. More understanding.

From a single unpaid bill to the bigger picture of your school.

-   **Follow the money.** Fee summaries, outstanding balances, discounts and fines sit alongside account statements, ledgers, balance sheets and income-versus-expense reports.
    
-   **Follow the school day.** Student and staff attendance, admissions, class lists, sibling links, leave and payroll reports bring different parts of school life into view.
    
-   **The detail you actually need.** Each report offers its relevant filters, such as term, class, employee, account or date range, so the answer stays focused.
    
-   **Useful beyond the screen.** Report tables can be copied, exported for a spreadsheet or printed, with Save as PDF available through the print view.

Printables that belong to your school

## Your school. On every page.

Report cards and student ID cards that look and feel like your school. Your layout, your background, your fonts.

-   **A report card that feels like yours.** Your logo, background artwork, fonts and signatures give every report your school’s identity. Reusable templates keep that look ready for the next print run.
    
-   **The information you want to share.** Subject results, skills or both on one card. Choose which attendance details, grades, positions and remarks appear, using the records already held in SMS.
    
-   **A student’s identity, front and back.** ID-card layouts bring photos and school details together, with front-and-back designs and fields your school can personalise.
    
-   **Ready for one child or a whole class.** Reusable layouts and student selection save repeated document work. A preview comes before printing or saving the generated PDF.

Your school day, in view

## Start your day. Know your next move.

The right view makes a busy school day feel a little less busy.

-   **Your role. Your view.** School leadership sees the bigger picture. Teachers see today’s lessons. More dashboards tailored to each role are in progress.
    
-   **The school at a glance.** Bring fees, income and expenses, attendance follow-ups and wallet balances into view, according to your access.
    
-   **Know what needs you.** Catch Up surfaces unfinished work and waiting approvals. Keep non-urgent items for your chosen hours while urgent items stay visible.
    
-   **Keep what matters close.** Choose which dashboard panels appear, your clock style and the calendar view you prefer.
    

Your day starts here.

## Find what you need. Get back to your day.

A person, a record or your next task. One search brings it closer.

-   **The school, within reach.** Find students, staff, parents, classes and fee groups without visiting each list separately.
    
-   **A typo needn’t slow you down.** Small spelling mistakes can still bring up the name you meant.
    
-   **Straight to the work.** Search for a page or a familiar task, such as mark entry or fee collection, and skip the trip through the menu.
    
-   **The next step is right there.** Available shortcuts beside a student take you to their profile, invoice, attendance, transport or hostel records.
    
-   **Your permissions still apply.** Results and quick actions follow staff access, so search keeps the same boundaries as the rest of SMS.

A workspace that feels like yours

## Same school. Your own way of working.

Little choices make a big difference when you use something every day.

-   **Comfort, on your terms.** Choose your theme, schedule dark mode for the evening, and arrange or hide the menu items you can customise.
    
-   **A heads-up your way.** Pick your notification tone and volume, where alerts appear and how long previews stay. Or keep previews out of your way.
    
-   **Make the lock screen yours.** Use a photo or a slideshow, choose your idle-lock wait, and decide whether unread notifications show while your screen is locked.
    
-   **Fewer little interruptions.** Choose rows per page, automatic filters, selected-row highlighting and whether guided tours appear.
    
-   **Your desk essentials, built in.** Basic, Scientific and Office calculators sit alongside a personal notepad that saves your notes automatically, without leaving your page.

Fits the way your school runs

## Online. Offline. On your terms.

A shared desk, a personal laptop, a school with unreliable internet. There’s a way to work that fits.

-   **Hosted with Academium.** Run your school through the Academium portal, with Individual connecting your employees’ own computers.
    
-   **Right there at your school.** An onsite Windows or Linux server keeps SMS available across your school’s network without relying on the internet. Client and Individual are included.
    
-   **At school. Away from school.** With both enabled, your school server is primary and the Academium portal is secondary. Individual uses the school server when reachable and the portal when you’re away.
    
-   **One computer. Several colleagues.** Client finds your school’s SMS server automatically and supports multiple signed-in employees on a shared computer.
    
-   **Keep working when the connection doesn’t.** Individual works fully offline on a personal computer. Changes sync when your chosen Cloud portal or school server is reachable.

Academium SMS + Academium Surepass

## One school. From assessment to report card.

Your school is already in SMS. Let Surepass pick up from there.

-   **Leave the second register behind.** Reuse SMS students, staff, classes, sections and subjects in Surepass, without entering the same school records again.
    
-   **Assessments that fit your school.** SMS sessions, terms and assessment mark allocations carry through, so tests and exams belong to the right school period.
    
-   **Marks, without the retyping.** Completed exam results can return to the matching SMS exam and mark category, with a preview of student matches and scores before sending.
    
-   **All the way to the report card.** SMS brings those marks together with your grading rules, attendance and remarks to prepare your school’s reports.

Access belongs to your school

## You decide who gets in.

Know who is using your school system, on which computer, and keep access decisions in your hands.

-   **Recognise every computer.** Use a one-use code to enrol staff on a named computer and review who uses it.
    
-   **Take back access.** Bar staff from a computer or request a lock or sign-out when it next connects.

Protection for the everyday school day

## Secured by Design

Protect employee access, school data and the computer that keeps your school running.

Sign-in Recovery Device trust

### Security questions

A forgotten password needn’t stop the school day. Recovery questions help eligible employees regain access, while their answers stay protected by a password check.

### Authenticator & backup codes

Backup codes stay within reach. Disabling authenticator settings or replacing backup codes is password-protected, helping keep those decisions with the account holder.

### Personal PIN

An extra barrier for your records. A quicker return to work. Your PIN keeps access on trusted computers simple without repeating your username and password.

### Trusted devices

Trust stays in your hands. Your trusted computers and their recent activity remain visible, and a computer you no longer use can lose its trusted status.

### Password protection

Password rules reflect each role’s responsibilities. A password change also clears existing device trust, giving your account a fresh start.

### Your sign-in identity

Your sign-in name can change as your details do. Your profile, permissions and existing work stay together in the same account.

Available controls depend on the employee’s role. PIN sign-in and screen unlocking require an enrolled computer.

PIN lock screen

### Step away.  
Keep your place.

Your PIN adds an extra barrier to your school’s records and gets you back to work faster. On your trusted computer, there’s no need to type your username and password all over again.

Manual lock Idle auto-lock

Even when you forget, idle lock remembers. Your screen locks automatically after the idle time you choose.

**A lock screen that feels like you.** Your own photo or a slideshow gives it a personal touch.

**Stay in the loop, even while locked.** Keep unread notifications in view, or hide them for more privacy. Unlock with your PIN to open a notice.

Your data. Your recovery. Your school server.

### Protect the work your school can’t afford to lose.

From portal connections to recovery copies, your school’s records have protection beyond the sign-in screen.

Portal protection Backup & restore Machine health

**School records** Data travelling from the application

**Encrypted connection** Industry-standard HTTPS protection

**Academium portal** School data protected in transit

Encryption protects the connection carrying your school’s data.

#### Protected on the way to the portal.

School data sent to Academium portal uses industry-standard encrypted HTTPS connections.

#### Back up. Keep it protected.

Encrypted backups cover school records and uploaded files. Scheduled copies and a retained history keep recovery points within reach.

#### Recover your school’s work.

Records and uploaded files come back together from a saved school backup. Damaged or incompatible backups are rejected.

#### Earlier warning. More time to act.

Drive-health checks surface wear, storage faults and failure warnings, helping you act on early signs of trouble.

#### Know when your server needs cooling.

Temperature and fan readings reveal cooling problems, with warnings when a drive runs hot or a fan reports a fault.

#### Keep problems in sight.

Clock problems, unexpected shutdowns, server errors and missing backups surface in the server manager, ready for your attention.

Backup, restore and machine-health features are part of the server editions. Health readings depend on the computer. Backups require a school linked to Academium portal; cloud copies are optional.

More from your school server

## One server. More for your school.

School apps, shared time and local computer addresses on one machine. Built-in network services help a small school keep its setup lean.

-   **One time for the school.** NTP lets school computers follow the server’s clock, keeping timestamps consistent across the local network.
    
-   **Give every computer its place.** Optional DHCP assigns local network addresses and remembers their leases. Names and pinned addresses keep familiar machines easy to recognise.
    
-   **Open the app. Find the school.** Client editions discover the SMS server on your school network automatically.
    
-   **Get the other apps locally.** Employees can download the included Client and Individual editions directly from your school server.
    
-   **Shared services. Working together.** When SMS and Surepass servers share a machine, they coordinate NTP and DHCP so one server handles those shared services.
    

**Your onsite school server** Academium SMS · Windows or Linux

**School apps** SMS on the school network

FAQs

## Frequently Asked Questions

How does it fit into your school day? Here are answers about getting started, choosing an edition and working with Surepass.

[Still have a question?](https://academium.com.ng/contact-us) [Explore all SMS questions](https://academium.com.ng/sms/faq)

### How do we get started?

Download the edition that fits your school’s setup. Server and Individual editions let you create a school, explore a demo or begin in free mode. A Client Edition joins an existing school server on the school network. Our downloads guide explains which edition belongs on each computer.

### Can we review attendance from an earlier term?

Yes. Choose a term and class to review present, absent, late and half-day records. Attendance reports account for the school calendar’s weekends and holidays, and staff can follow up on classes whose registers have not been marked. This makes attendance useful for action as well as record keeping.

### Who can log in to Academium SMS?

SMS is the workspace for school employees, with access shaped by their assigned roles. Students use Surepass for assessment and practice rather than signing in to SMS. The separate parent app is still in development and is not yet available.

### Can we choose what each employee can see and change?

Yes. Assign employees to roles that reflect their responsibilities. Viewing, adding, editing and deleting are separate permissions, so a teacher can be allowed to view information without receiving the same control as an administrator. The school keeps control over who handles sensitive academic, financial and employee records.

### Can our school work without an internet connection?

Yes. With a school Server Edition, staff use SMS over the school’s local network without needing internet for day-to-day work. Individual Edition also supports offline work on approved staff computers, with saved changes syncing when the computer reconnects. Internet is needed for services such as cloud updates, online payments and remote access.

### Can younger learners have skills-based reports?

Yes. Define skills, categories and a rating scale, then assign the relevant categories to each class. Teachers record ratings and remarks for each learner, with junior reports and class broadsheets built from those records. This gives the school a way to report development beyond subject marks alone.

### What happens if a computer is offline when we lock it?

The request takes effect when that computer next connects to the school. Device policies also let the school limit how long enrolled computers can remain offline before access needs renewal. These controls work alongside local locking and staff permissions; a remote instruction cannot reach a disconnected computer immediately.

### Can Surepass exam results become part of our SMS reports?

Yes. Create the receiving exam and subject score components in SMS, then choose the matching assessment in Surepass. Staff review student matches and completed scores before sending the marks back. SMS uses the recorded marks with the school’s grading rules to prepare results and report cards.

### How much does Academium SMS cost?

Lite starts at ₦75,000 per term for 200 students. Standard is ₦150,000 per term for 350 students. Premium is ₦200,000 per term with unlimited students. All three paid plans also offer a pay-per-student alternative; the pricing page shows the current allowances, modules and billing options.
