Academic years, classes and groups in Perno Eduwallet help organize students and recurring fees by period and institutional structure. Start by creating an academic year, then add classes or groups to organize students and manage payments.
Creating academic years, classes and groups in Perno Eduwallet
1. Open the academic years list
In Perno Eduwallet, expand the People and structure menu and select Academic years.
The page displays the academic years you have created, along with their dates and status. If the list is empty, you will see the message No academic years yet.
Click + Add to open the Academic year form.
2. Enter the academic year details
Complete the required fields:
|
Field |
What to enter |
|
Name |
The academic year name, e.g. 2026/2027. |
|
Start date |
The academic year start date. |
|
End date |
The academic year end date. |
By default, Perno suggests a period from 1 September of the current year to 31 August of the following year. In the example shown, this is 01.09.2026–31.08.2027.
Check the dates and adjust them to the period used by your institution.
3. Save the academic year
Click Save to save the academic year. The Cancel button allows you to cancel adding it.
After saving, the year will appear in the Academic years list. Check its name, period and status — in the example shown, the new year has the status Active.
4. Add a class or group
Go to People and structure → Classes and groups and select the option to add a group.
Enter a name that clearly identifies its purpose, such as Class 2A, English language course or Art classes.
5. Choose the appropriate group type
Match the group type to its intended use:
|
Group type |
Use |
|
Official class |
A standard school class, usually assigned to a specific academic year. |
|
Virtual or flexible group |
Courses, extracurricular activities or temporary groups of students. |
|
Other available type |
Structures specific to your institution. |
6. Assign the academic year and responsible staff
Where applicable, assign the appropriate academic year to the class or group you are creating.
Optionally assign teachers or staff members responsible for the group. Check the details and save the form.
Groups are displayed with their assigned academic years and sorted first by academic year, then by group name.
7. Use the group to organize students and payments
You can use the class or group you have created to:
-
Organize students.
-
Create a one-time charge for all current group members.
-
Create a recurring fee that dynamically follows changes in group membership.
-
Assign a dedicated payment destination.
A one-time charge uses the group membership at the time the charge is created. A recurring fee can take subsequent membership changes into account.
