New → Hostel is where a school starts. Create hostel rooms and beds, then allocate a student to an available bed. Use the resident list to find their room, record daily hostel attendance, and log visits and leave requests. Review any hostel fee approval before treating it as a charge. The reports page shows occupancy, absences and leave history.
If New or this module is missing, ask EDUBase support to check your institute’s module availability. If the module appears but a screen or action is denied, ask your school administrator to check the matching privilege in Admin → Users & Privileges.
The New menu is between General and Core. It appears only when the institute has an enabled new module, and lists only enabled modules. Staff privileges still control access.
