Sign up and create your school workspace

Open your browser and visit edunile.ng/sign-up. This page is only for school owners. Your administrators, teachers, and bursar will be invited later from inside your dashboard. They don't sign up separately here.

Type in your school's full name (e.g. Springfield Academy) and pick a short address for it (e.g. springfield). This becomes the link your staff and parents will use to reach the dashboard, for example, springfield.edunile.ng.

Pick something short and easy to remember. If the name you want is already taken, try a small variation like adding your city (springfield-lagos) or your school's initials. You won't be able to change this later without starting a new account, so choose carefully.

Just below the address, choose your State from the list. It's optional, but telling us where your school is helps our team reach you with the right help, and it's the one place edunile asks.

Add your first name, last name, email address, and phone number. We ask for your phone number so our team can reach you quickly if anything goes wrong with your account. If someone from Edunile visited your school and gave you a Referral code, type it in the box below your phone number. It's optional, and it only helps us thank the person who introduced you. The email you use here becomes the owner's login. It has the highest level of access in your account, so use a personal email that only you control. Don't use a shared school inbox.

Pick a password that is at least 8 characters long and includes a capital letter, a number, and a special character like ! or ?. Type it again in the second field to confirm it matches.

Click Register School. Within a minute or two, you'll receive an email from edunile asking you to confirm your address. Open the email and click the link inside. Until you confirm, you won't be able to sign in.

After you click the link, you'll land on your school's sign-in page. Enter the same email and password you just chose. From here, edunile walks you through a short setup wizard. It starts with two quick questions about you (your role, and roughly how many students you have) and four you can leave blank: how many campuses, when you're hoping to start, what you use to run the school today, and how you heard about us. Pick the answer that's true, even if that's Just exploring for now. Then it asks What do you want to set up first? Choose Fees and payments to start billing parents straight away (the fees-first guide walks through it), or The whole school to set up classes, subjects and staff as well. (If you signed up from edunile's page for bursars, it skips this question and starts you on fees.) That path next asks what kind of school you run and where you are in the school year, which the next guide in this series covers in detail.
