Create the new Scheduling Year (2026-27)

Modified on: Wed, Feb 4, 2026 at 2:49 PM

Creating the New Year (2026-27) is still done in Administrator's Plus Classic (AdminPlus Classic), regardless of your AdminPlus.com editing settings.

Only schools who have requested to be "edit enabled" in AdminPlus.com will have access to the AdminPlus.com Edit Screen.

Please remember there is another set of steps to do at the end of the Current School Year (2025-26) and before the start of the 2026-27 School Year.


If at any point during this process you run into a problem, or get an error, please contact tech support immediately.
If you would prefer to have a trainer walk you through this process, please contact your account rep.


Prerequisites

Before starting, some things must be done, and some questions answered:

  • All users will need to be logged out of AdminPlus Classic (we will check this as a part of the process)
  • All users will need to be logged out of AdminPlus.com (there is currently no way to check this in the program, please verify directly with your AdminPlus.com users)
  • The Supervisor user must be the one to do these steps in AdminPlus Classic
  • Although it does NOT matter what the Edit/View settings are for AdminPlus.com to create the New Year, editing DOES have to be set for AdminPlus Classic to do the steps to Retain Students and to delete Inactive Students and Staff.
  • Will you have any students who are currently in the highest Grade Level who will be retained and returning next year?
    If so, you will need to follow the directions in the Retaining Students section.
  • Does your school use Admissions Plus Web (APW)?
    If so, you will need to follow the directions in the Sync the New Scheduling Year with Admissions Plus Web (APW) section.
  • Will you want to see the new Scheduling Year in AdminPlus.com?
    If so, you will need to follow the directions in the Enable the Scheduling Year to be seen in AdminPlus.com section.
  • Will you want to use an AdminPlus Online Form (with AP OLF.com) in the Scheduling Year? If so, you will need to follow the directions in the Enable use of an AP OLF.com form in the Scheduling Year section.

This 13 minute video follows the steps listed below. 



Detailed List of Steps to Create the 2026-27 School Year

  1. Verify no one is logged into AdminPlus.com.
  2. Verify no one is logged into AdminPlus Classic.
    1. Go to Help -> Logged in Users.
  3. Lock AdminPlus Classic so that no one logs in while you are working (an hour should be plenty of time, and you can unlock once you are finished).
    1. Go to File -> Lock/Unlock AdminPlus.
  4. Create the New Year
    1. Verify you are in the Current School Year (2025-26).
    2. Go to File -> Create Year.
    3. Confirm 2025-26 is highlighted, click select.
    4. Confirm the 2026-27 school year is displayed, click next.
    5. Click Done on the Congratulations window.
    6. Click Yes on the Scheduling Year Warning.
  5. Switch to the New Scheduling Year(2026-27).
  6. If you have students in your highest grade level who will be retained and returning next year, follow these Retaining Students instructions:
    1. If applicable, change/confirm the AdminPlus.com editing settings for Demographics are set to AdminPlus.
    2. Verify you are in the New Scheduling Year (2026-27).
    3. Go to Data Base -> New Files, look up the student to be retained.
    4. Click the Other (F9) button, and select #2 Move to another Grade Level.
    5. Select one grade level below your highest and demote the student to that grade level.
      For example, if the student is in 12th grade in 2025-26, and will be returning next year in 2026-27 for 12th grade again, you will first demote them to 11th grade, and then when beginning is run, they will be 'promoted' to the 12th grade.
    6. Repeat for any other students who might be retained in the new year (2026-27).
  7. Run the Beginning Program.
    1. Verify you are in the New Scheduling Year (2026-27).
    2. Go to Data Base -> Beginning.
      All of the data that is being erased was copied from 2025-26, and will always be available in the 2025-26 school year. Erasing it will make the new Scheduling Year "empty" and ready for 2026-27's data.
      Check boxes 1-5. This will:
      1. Promote all students to the next grade level.
      2. Erase all of the 2025-26's Attendance data to make room for 2026-27's Calendar and Attendance.
      3. Erase all of the 2025-26's Schedule and Grades to make room for 2026-27's Schedule and Grades.
      4. Erase all of the 2025-26's Discipline to make room for 2026-27's Discipline.
      5. Erase all of the 2025-26's Billing to make room for 2026-27's Billing.
  8. Delete all Inactive Students and Staff.
    Remember, they will always be available in 2025-26, you are just deleting them from 2026-27.
    You should always start the new year with only Active Students.
    1. If applicable, confirm the AdminPlus.com editing settings for Demographics are set to AdminPlus.
    2. Verify you are in the New Scheduling Year (2026-27).
    3. Go to Data Base -> New Files
      1. Select the second lowest grade level in the drop down menu
        (there are no students in the lowest grade level, they were just promoted up to the second lowest grade level)
      2. Click the Other (F9) button, and select #7 Delete all inactive students
      3. Any inactive student from 2025-26 will appear in this list with a checkmark.
      4. If they are returning in 2026-27, uncheck their name.
      5. When you click Next, any student who has a checkmark will be deleted from 2026-27.
      6. Select the next grade level, click the Other button, select #7 - do this for every grade level.
      7. Repeat the process for the STAFF grade level.
    4. If applicable, change the AdminPlus.com editing settings for Demographics back to the way they were before starting the Creating a New Year process.
