Inside the app

Everything a college office runs, in one place

  • Admissions and recruitment

    Inquiries, campus tour bookings, interviews, reviewer scorecards, offers and a waitlist, with admissions email campaigns and templates in the same app.

  • Programmes and course registration

    Programmes carry intake, deadline, capacity and application fee; Course Enrollments record each student's courses, semester, credit hours and final grade.

  • Curriculum and teaching

    Subjects, syllabi and syllabus coverage, lesson plans, homework and submissions, with teacher assignments and a teaching-load check per lecturer.

  • Timetable, rooms and attendance

    Timetables built from slots with day, period, room and lecturer, slot swap requests, and attendance taken per period or per day.

  • Examinations and grading

    Examinations, exam schedules with rooms and invigilators, seating plans, bulk mark entry, rubrics, grading scales and weighted grade results.

  • Records and transcripts

    Academic records, mark sheets with pass rates, class rankings, awards and transcripts carrying cumulative GPA, average percentage and overall grade.

  • Fees and financial aid

    Fee structures and categories, installment plans, invoices, dunning, refunds with approval, bursaries, scholarships, subsidy schemes and waivers.

  • Library

    Books and barcoded copies, loans, reservations, course reserves, inter-library loans, periodicals, digital resources and a public online catalogue.

Step by step

One student record from enquiry to graduation

Each step hands the same student to the next app, so nobody retypes names, programmes or balances.

  1. Step 1

    Capture the enquiry

    In CRM, enquiries arrive as admission leads and move through the Admissions pipeline from Inquiry to interview, with activities and emails logged.

    CRM
  2. Step 2

    Review and make offers

    Admissions records interviews, reviewer scores and recommendations, and test codes, then moves each applicant to Offer, Waitlist or Enrolled.

    Admissions
  3. Step 3

    Bill the semester

    Fees & Finance assigns a fee structure to each student and generates installment invoices, each with a pay link and an accounting entry.

    Fees & Billing
  4. Step 4

    Register courses and rooms

    Academic enrols students on courses for the semester with their credit hours, and the timetable places each class in a slot, room and lecturer.

    Timetable
  5. Step 5

    Assess and grade

    Lecturers enter marks in Academic, and grade results combine continuous assessment and exam scores by their weights into a final score and GPA points.

    Assessment Engine
  6. Step 6

    Issue the transcript

    Academic compiles each transcript with a transcript number, cumulative GPA, average percentage and overall grade, and records the date it was issued.

    Academics

Know what each programme costs and who is sponsoring whom

Fee policies price a year of study, sponsors' awards sit on the student record, and short-course payments are tracked on each enrolment.

  1. Academics

    Fee policies priced per credit hour

    A fee policy prices a programme's year of study per credit hour and adds the registration, examination, library and technology fees.

Run the college library from catalogue to overdue fines

Cataloguing, circulation and the public catalogue use the same student records as admissions and fees.

  • A catalogue with ISBN and Dewey

    Each book carries ISBN, Dewey class, call number and shelf location, with available, issued and reserved copy counts on the record.

  • Loans, due dates and fines

    Loans track issue and due dates, renewals, days overdue and the fine owed; overdue loans get their own list for the librarian to chase.

  • A public catalogue, booklists and a self-checkout kiosk

    Students search the OPAC from any browser and browse the librarian's public booklists, and the self-checkout kiosk issues or returns a book from the patron card and the copy barcode.

Built for diploma and degree-awarding institutions

The university and college tools that sit inside the same apps, not in separate systems.

  • Accreditation that cannot lapse unnoticed

    Accreditations record the awarding body, programme, certificate number and validity dates, counting the days to expiry against a renewal reminder window.

  • A research office in the same system

    Research projects link the principal investigator, collaborators, ethics reviews, papers and grants, with each grant's amount spent and remaining.

  • Exam halls planned seat by seat

    Exam Seating gives each candidate a room, row and seat number and records attendance, while the Exam Schedule names the invigilator per paper.

  • Online tests with proctor flags

    The Assessments app builds tests from a question bank and sections, times every attempt, and logs proctor flags with a timestamp for review.

  • Grants and tuition insurance

    University Finance tracks grants, research funding and tuition insurance claims inside Fees & Finance, next to the student fee ledger.

  • Placements and attachments

    The Placement Office app records vacancies and student applications with CV and cover letter, plus diary entries kept during each placement.

  • Your own CGPA scale

    CGPA Scales define the grade bands and maximum GPA, and every course enrolment records which scale converted its grade into points.

  • Teaching load kept in check

    Teaching Load totals each lecturer's periods per week against the maximum permitted and flags anyone carrying overload hours.

Who uses it

Each office starts from the screen it needs

Same records, different starting points for the people who run the college.

  • Registrar

    Course Enrollments, academic records, promotion batches and transcripts, with approval logs showing who approved each academic change and when.

  • Admissions officer

    The pipeline, interviews, tour schedule, offers, waitlist and reviewer scorecards, plus email campaigns to prospective students from the Marketing menu.

  • Lecturer

    The Today menu gathers the day's timetable, lesson plans due, assessments due and attendance register, beside mark entry and homework submissions.

  • Bursar

    Revenue Board, Overdue Pipeline, dunning log, refunds pending approval and the collection-rate dashboard, broken down by programme and class.

  • Librarian

    Loans, overdue items, reservations, course reserves, inter-library loans and the offline circulation queue, all from one Library app.

  • Accountant

    Fee invoices post as accounting entries, so the Accounting dashboard, bank reconciliation, aged receivables and profit and loss stay current.

In your country

Made for fees paid by phone and campuses with patchy internet

Payment rails, currencies and languages that match how colleges actually operate.

  • Fees paid by mobile money

    On the demo, M-Pesa STK Push is configured as a payment provider, and every fee invoice carries a pay link that students or sponsors can open on a phone.

  • More wallets and card gateways

    On the demo, Airtel Money is enabled and Pesapal is configured next to M-Pesa, with a Flutterwave connector also installed for colleges that need it.

  • Two currencies on one ledger

    On the demo, Kenyan shillings and US dollars are both active, and the Unrealized Currency Gains/Losses report revalues open foreign-currency balances at a chosen date.

  • Screens in each user's language

    On the demo, Kiswahili for Kenya and Tanzania, French, Arabic, Portuguese, Spanish, German and Chinese are active beside English, chosen per user.

  • Circulation that survives a dropped network

    Loans and returns captured on a disconnected device wait in the Offline Queue with barcode, patron card and timestamp until they become loans.

  • Campus shop charged to fees

    At the campus shop till, Charge to Student Fees is a payment method, so purchases are billed through the student's fee account instead of cash.

Know which students are slipping before the exam board does

Degree audits show who cannot graduate yet and why, and each student's academic advisor already has the next meeting booked.

Getting started

Bring your existing records across

Setup uses import files, bulk wizards and configuration menus that already exist in the product.

  1. Import from spreadsheets

    Students, courses, fee structures and book lists import from Excel or CSV files, with column mapping and a test run before anything is saved.

  2. Set grading rules once

    Grading Scales, CGPA Scales, Assessment Types and Promotion Rules are set up once in Academic, and every later result follows them.

  3. Bill a whole intake at once

    Bulk Assign Structure puts a fee structure on many students together, and Generate Invoices creates their installment invoices in one run.

  4. Catalogue books by ISBN

    ISBN Auto-fill fetches book details, MARC import brings records across from another library system, and Generate Barcodes creates barcodes for the copies.

  5. Marks for a whole class

    Bulk Mark Entry lists a class's marks for an examination together, with absences and remarks, so lecturers record scores in one sitting.

  6. Promote a year group in one batch

    Promotion Batches apply your promotion rules to a class, counting who was promoted and who was retained, and keep each batch on record.
