Academic rollover without the annual cleanup mess
Moving from one academic year to the next is not just student promotion. Unity helps schools roll forward students, status, fees, advances, and payment links without creating parent confusion or finance cleanup.
The rollover button is never the whole story
Real schools do not move every student the same way. The academic-year transition touches admissions, class allocation, fee schedules, fee advances, payment links, results, and parent communication.
Move the right students
Filter rollover by academic year, program, division, and student status before records move forward.
- Active students
- Inactive or transferred students
- Program and division batches
Keep fees in the right year
Fee schedules, fee advances, and payment links stay tied to the selected academic year instead of inheriting stale assumptions.
- Academic-year fee context
- Fee advance continuity
- Duplicate payment-link protection
Reduce cleanup after rollover
Rollover is handled as an auditable workflow, not a risky bulk edit that accounts and admin teams clean up later.
- Clear staff action
- Fewer parent disputes
- Cleaner finance follow-through
A safer academic-year transition workflow
Unity turns rollover into a controlled school operation instead of a one-time script that everyone hopes worked.
Select the academic year
Start with the year being closed and the year being opened so every downstream record has the right context.
Filter the rollover batch
Use program, division, and student status filters so schools do not accidentally move the wrong students.
Create the next-year records
Promote the eligible students while preserving the operational differences schools actually deal with.
Align fees and payment links
Generate required payment links after fee creation and avoid duplicate links for the same fee context.
Student rollover also has fee-payment consequences
This is the nuance behind the PR: once a student moves academic years, finance cannot be an afterthought. Payment links must be generated only in the right fee context, duplicates must be avoided, and fee advances must remain meaningful for the new session.

What Unity keeps aligned during rollover
Some students are active, some are inactive, and some are in special-status buckets.
Some families have fee advances that must continue cleanly into the next academic year.
Some payment links should be generated only after the right fee record exists.
Duplicate payment links create confusion for parents and cleanup work for accounts.
Academic-year assumptions must not leak into results, fee schedules, or parent communication.
Rollover connects academic, student, and finance operations
Start the new academic year without carrying old-year errors forward
Unity helps schools handle the small rollover details that become big operational problems when ignored.
