Academic Years and Terms

An organized academic calendar year after year: terms with their dates, weeks, lesson distribution across them, and rollover of students, classes, and timetables into the new year in a few steps instead of re-entry from scratch.

What This Service Delivers

The academic year is the time frame for everything that happens in a school, and any flaw in defining it reflects on timetables, plans, and reports. ViewClass's Academic Years and Terms keeps this frame precise and organized, and turns the heaviest annual process — moving into a new year — into a handful of steps.

What you get:

  • Academic year and term definition with start and end dates for each term, and selection of the current term the system operates on.
  • Academic weeks within each term, on which the weekly plan and curriculum distribution are built.
  • Lesson distribution across weeks for each subject, making the curriculum sequence visible to leadership, supervision, and teachers.
  • Rollover to the new year: moving students, classes, and timetables from the ending year to the new one in a single operation, with student records kept intact.
  • Gregorian or Hijri calendar according to what the school adopts.

How It Works in ViewClass

  1. At setup or before each new year, the system administrator adds the academic year, its terms and dates from the academic years screen, then the weeks within each term.
  2. Rollover what is needed: students to their new grades, classes, and timetables — in one operation, with the result reviewed before approval.
  3. Distribute the curriculum: each subject's lessons are assigned to their weeks, so the weekly plan and preparation automatically know their place in the term.

What Your School Gains

  • A calm start to the year. What used to take weeks of re-entry and review becomes a rollover reviewed in one session.
  • A continuous student record across the years. A student's academic and behavioral history is never cut at each grade transition — exactly what the counselor and leadership need for any decision.
  • Closer tracking of curriculum progress. With lessons distributed across weeks, academic supervision sees at a glance which classes are ahead or behind.
  • Correct reports and timetables. Every report, timetable, and plan rests on the year and term dates, so accuracy here carries through to all of them.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. The academic years screen rolls students, classes, and timetables over from the current year to the new one, so each student keeps their full record and moves to the new grade without manual entry.
