Faculties, departments, programmes
The academic structure an institution actually has — faculty, department, programme, year of study — with course lists and credit loads attached where they belong.
Akadesk Academic OS

What you get
Everything an institution runs on
Six capabilities that cover the working week, not a feature list assembled to look long.
Course registration with real rules
Credit-load limits, prerequisites, resits and year-of-study requirements are enforced at registration, not discovered at the end of the semester.
Grades and classification
Grades compute per semester and cumulatively, with degree classification against your institution's own grading scheme rather than a hardcoded one.
Transcripts that reconcile
An official transcript is generated from the same records the results came from, so it always reconciles with what the department entered.
Hostel, library and fees
Bed allocation by hall and academic year, library circulation with fines, and semester fee schedules with part payment — from one student record.
One record, from admission to transcript
Admission, registration, results, fees, hostel and library all read and write the same student record, so nothing is reconciled between systems at the end of an academic year.
How it works
Three steps to running your institution
Model your institution
Faculties, departments, programmes, years of study and your grading scheme — including the parts that are specific to you.
Open registration
Students register courses against real prerequisite and credit-load rules, and pay their semester fees in the same academic year.
Publish results
Departments enter grades, results compute per semester and cumulatively, and transcripts generate from those same records.
“Registration week used to be a queue in the faculty corridor. It is now a form the student fills at home that refuses to let them break the credit rules.”

Questions
Before you ask
Can we use our own grading scheme?
Yes. Grade boundaries, grade points and classification bands are configured per institution; nothing is hardcoded to one country's convention.
Does it handle resits?
Resits are tracked against the year they were failed at and are enforced at registration in later academic years.
Do you handle open and distance learning?
Not on this product. A distance arm has requirements a campus system quietly fails at — content released on a calendar, attendance that cannot be a roll-call, examinations allocated to a venue — so it is a separate product, Akadesk Tertiary Online, on its own database. Institutions running both operate them as two systems, which is how a distance centre is usually constituted anyway.
Who can generate a transcript?
Registry roles only. Transcript generation is permissioned separately from result entry and every generation is recorded.
