# Manage Academic Terms

This section will guide you through the first crucial step: Creating a Term.

**Note on 'Term' Usage in KidsLipi:** In KidsLipi, 'Term' refers to a specific duration of classes, which typically aligns with traditional academic periods. While 'Session' may be used in some educational settings to denote shorter educational periods, in KidsLipi, we encompass both under the term 'Term.' This approach provides the flexibility to accommodate both traditional terms and shorter sessions.

**Starting the Process:**

1. From the left side navigation, select 'Terms' under the 'School' option.
2. Here, you will see a list of existing terms. If you are adding for the first time, this list will be empty.

**Adding a New Term:**

1. Click on the 'Add' button located at the top right corner.
2. In the 'Add Term' dialog box, input the Start Date, End Date, and Term Name.
3. Click 'Add' to complete the creation of the new term.

**Editing an Existing Term:**

1. To modify a term, click on the 'Edit' icon next to it in the list.
2. Update the necessary details in the editing interface.
3. Click 'Update' to save the changes.

After successfully creating a term, you can proceed to the next step of setting up a School Campus for your classes.
