Academic calendar
The master schedule of terms, working days, holidays, and events that attendance, exams, fees, and leave modules share.
The academic calendar is the single source of truth for “is today a working day?” and “which term are we in?” Every downstream workflow should inherit those dates.
Schools that maintain parallel holiday lists in spreadsheets often see attendance, exam, and fee modules drift out of sync mid-year.
