This will allow for adding multiple students to a class roster.
To import students, you will need a comma-delimited (CSV) file. Many student information systems and spreadsheet applications can export data in this format.
Downloading a Sample CSV File:
Select a class on your Account Home page.
Select Add Students and then select Import Students from File.
Select Instructions & Sample and then Download Sample File.
Preparing Your CSV File for Import
In the file, the first row should contain the column names; the subsequent rows contain the student information that match the column names. Delete the sample student data and replace it with your own data. Once complete, save the file as a CSV file.
Required column names: FirstName, LastName, StudentID, and GradeLevel
Optional column names: MiddleName, Language, Password
All student IDs must be unique. We recommend using the district-provided student ID to promote consistency across all schools and classes within a district.
Once your file is ready, log in to your account:
Creating Student Accounts Using a CSV File:
After creating your .CSV file, navigate to the class.
Select Add Students and then Import Students from File.
Drag and drop or click to select the completed .CSV file.
Review the changes and, if correct, select Import.
The students will then appear in your class roster.
*Please note: If you view your CSV in Excel and your studentIDs include leading zeros, Excel may remove them.
*Please note, student names cannot exceed 30 characters in their first or last name. Doing so will result in an import fail.
*Please delete unused column headers. While there are only 4 required columns, blank columns can cause errors.
*Using special characters or non-alphanumeric characters in student names, usernames, or passwords may result in errors or issues with student login attempts.
If your account lacks privileges to create new student accounts, your administrator may have disabled this. You will need to reach out to the administrator so they can either enable teachers to add new students or upload student accounts themselves.
