How Academiq works
A walk through the platform in the order you will actually use it — from creating your institution to publishing results and collecting fees. Written for the people running the school, not for developers.
Contents
- 1 Getting started What Academiq is, how to create your institution, and the eight steps that make it usable.
- 2 Academic years, classes and subjects The academic structure everything else hangs off: years, terms, classes, sections, subjects and the timetable.
- 3 Students, parents and admissions Enrolling students, linking parents, taking applications from your website, scholarships and end-of-year promotion.
- 4 Staff, teachers and payroll Adding teaching and non-teaching staff, running monthly payroll, and handling leave requests.
- 5 Attendance Marking daily student attendance, recording staff attendance, and who can see the registers.
- 6 Exams, assessments and results Setting up exams and grade scales, recording continuous assessment, entering marks and publishing results.
- 7 Assignments Setting work for a class, collecting submissions online, and grading with feedback.

- 9 Hostel and transport Boarding houses, rooms, allocations and visitors; school vehicles, routes and student pickups.
- 10 Announcements, events and messages Reaching the whole school or one person, publishing the calendar, and handling complaints.
- 11 Certificates, ID cards and documents Generating print-ready documents from templates, and where uploaded files are kept.
- 12 The AI assistant Drafting report sheet remarks, lesson plans and CA questions — what it writes, what a teacher must approve, what leaves your school, and what it costs.
- 13 Roles, permissions and portals The six kinds of user, what each one sees, and how to change who can do what.
- 14 Your subscription The free trial, what each plan includes, renewal and cancellation, and what happens if a payment fails.

- 16 Security, audit and recovering data Two-step login, the activity log, restoring deleted records, and how your data is kept separate.
