# Managing Your Campus

Canonical page: https://carecard.ca/knowledge/care-card-guide/campus-admin/managing-your-campus
Language: en-CA











The **Institution** page is where you manage the campuses you administer. It
shows your institution at the top and your campuses below, and it's where you
create programs and add terms.

## What the Institution Page Shows [#what-the-institution-page-shows]

The page shows your institution's profile, then a **Campuses** list. You see
only the campus — or campuses — you administer, not the institution's other
campuses. Expand a campus row to see its programs, each program's coordinators,
and an actions menu per program.

Unlike a Program Coordinator, you can **create programs** and **add terms**
here. Creating a new campus or a new institution is CareCard staff only.

## Create a Program [#create-a-program]

On a campus row, open the actions menu (<Dots />) and select **Create Program**.
Enter the **Program Name**, pick a **Start Year** and **Start Term**, then
select **Create Program**. The program is created under that campus with its
first term.

Each program then has its own actions menu (<Dots />) on its row. **Edit**
updates the name and the optional code, description, and program length;
**Delete** removes a program.

<Callout type="warn">
  Deleting a program removes it for everyone who depends on it — assigned coordinators and students
  whose access runs through it. Make sure it's truly unused first.
</Callout>

## Add Terms [#add-terms]

A program needs at least one term before students, pre-approvals, or templates
can attach to it. On the program's actions menu (<Dots />), select **Add Terms**.
Pick a **Year** and **Term** (**Fall**, **Winter**, or **Spring/Summer**), select
**Add** to add it, repeat for more, then select **Add Terms** to save.

A Program Coordinator can't add terms. If a coordinator at your campus reports a
missing term, add it here.

## Next [#next]

Once your programs and terms are in place, assign someone to run each one. See
[Adding Admins and
Coordinators](/care-card-guide/campus-admin/adding-admins-and-coordinators).
