# Classes

> Create and manage the classes in an academic year from Settings

> [!NOTE]
>
> **Required role:** **Owner** or **Admin**. Teachers and requesters can view classes but can't create, edit, or delete them.

**Settings → Classes** shows the same class list as the main **Classes** page, inside the Settings layout so the settings sidebar stays visible. Use it to set up class structure while you configure a new year.

Classes are scoped to the academic year selected in the year picker at the top of the sidebar. Switch years to see or create classes for a different year.

## The class list

The table shows each class's **Class Name**, **Grade**, and **Students** count. Use **Search classes...** to find a class by name, or filter by **Grade**.

## Create classes

**1. Check the academic year**

Make sure the year picker shows the year you want to add classes to.

**2. Start a new class**

Click **New class**.

**3. Pick a grade and name the classes**

Choose a **Grade**, then type each name under **Class names** (for example, `A`, `B`, `C`). Press Enter or a comma after each name to create several classes at once.

**4. Save**

Save to create the classes in the selected year.

## Edit or delete classes

* **Edit** — open a row's menu and click **Edit** to change the **Class name** or grade.
* **Delete** — open a row's menu and click **Delete**. You can't delete a class that has enrollments or attendance records.
* **Bulk actions** — select several rows to **Change Grade** or **Delete** them together. If some classes can't be deleted, Relyant tells you why and deletes the rest.

> [!TIP]
>
> When you start a new year, you don't need to recreate every class. Use **Copy Classes** in the [year-end transition](https://docs.relyant.app/edu/settings/year-end-transition.md) to bring your class structure forward.
