BELTS may support multiple schools. A school must be created in BELTS before any of the school users (School Administrator, Teacher or Student) can access it. This is the case even if only one school will use BELTS.

When a school is created, the system requires that the first School Administrator be created. Although, the system will ask for a first name and family name, it is possible to create the School Administrator as a generic account by entering generic information into the fields. For example, provide a first name of “School” and a family name of “Administrator”.

After the school has been created, the School Administrator will be able to edit the details of the school and manage the school's users and classes.
