Following the EOY Rollover of existing academic year levels to the next level, you will need to create a new cohort for the new incoming year e.g., Prep, Year 7.
Schools can choose a variety of naming conventions to identify their academic years. Schools in the northern hemisphere usually
Sample Academic Years
Approximate Start of Academic Year | Sample Start Date | Approximate End of Academic Year | Sample End Date | Possible Academic Year Naming Convention | |
Northern Hemisphere | August to September | 1 Sep 20XX | June to July | 30 Jul 20YY (next year) | 20XX-20YY |
| Southern Hemisphere | January to December | 15 Jan 20XX | November to December | 30 Nov 20XX (same year) | 20XX |
Before setting up a new cohort at the start of your academic year, calculate the year in which the students in this new cohort will graduate from your school. This information may come from your student administration system or you can calculate it by adding the expected number of years students in the new cohort will be at your school before graduating to the current year, e.g., new cohort for year 7 students in 2030 in a high school will graduate as year 12 in 2035 (year 13 in 2036), or a new cohort for year 1 students in 2030 in a K12 school will graduate will graduate as year 12 in 2041. See sample table below.
Current Academic Year | Graduate Year | Possible Cohort Name | Start Date | End Date | |
Northern Hemisphere | 2030 | 2036 | Class of 2035-36 | 1 Sep 2030 | 31 Jul 2036 |
| Southern Hemisphere | 2030 | 2035 | Class of 2035 | 15 Jan 2030 | 30 Nov 2035 |
Current Academic Year | Graduate Year | Possible Cohort Name | Start Date | End Date | |
Northern Hemisphere | 2030 | 2036 | Class of 2035-36 | 1 Sep 2030 | 31 Jul 2036 |
| Southern Hemisphere | 2030 | 2035 | Class of 2035 | 15 Jan 2030 | 30 Nov 2035 |
K12 School: Year 1 students, 12 years at school, starting 2041
Current Academic Year | Graduate Year | Possible Cohort Name | Start Date | End Date | |
Northern Hemisphere | 2030 | 2042 | Class of 2041-42 | 1 Sep 2030 | 31 Jul 2042 |
| Southern Hemisphere | 2030 | 2041 | Class of 2041 | 15 Jan 2030 | 30 Nov 2041 |
