Transferring All Students to Level 6 (Temporary Step)

Important Note: Not all students progress to the next level simultaneously. Use "Level 6" as a temporary supportive level to avoid potential inconsistencies or system conflicts.

Select “Level 6” from the Transfer all Students to different level dropdown.

Click on the "Transfer All" button.

All students will be moved to Level 6 while keeping their current academic year unchanged.

In the Student Academic Admin interface (see Figure 3), search for students who are currently at Level 6 with their current academic year.

From the Transfer all Students to different academic year dropdown, select the correct academic year.

Click on the "Transfer All" button.

Students will now be assigned to the correct academic year, while still remaining at Level 6.

Transferring Students to the Correct Level

Again, use the dropdowns in the Student Academic Admin interface to search for students with the updated academic year and Level 6.

From the Transfer all Students to different level dropdown, select the correct level.

Click on the "Transfer All" button.

Students will now be fully transferred to the correct academic year and correct level.
