Overview

In addition to Categories and Cycles, you may want to set up Academic Years separately for your site. This setting:

  • Can be contextualized to support any year configuration: Calendar Year, Fiscal Year, etc.
  • Is added to and edited from the Admin tab > Configure Platform section only by top-level Administrators (i.e., Super Admins on tenants without microsites, Global Admins on tenants with microsites).
  • Allows Administrators to set a "Current Academic Year" that will pre-populate
  • Can be required for all competitions, which will enforce Administrators to select an Academic Year on the Details page before launching.
  • Appears below Category on the Details page.
  • Shows in competition-level PDFs and Excel reports.

Adding and Selecting Academic Years

  • 1 - Click the Add Academic Year button to add a new year.
  • 2- Type in the year. You can list full years (e.g., 2025-2026) or abbreviate (e.g., AY 25-26).
