Importing Multiple Student Accounts

Learn how to add multiple student accounts at once by importing them. 

 Permission

To create a new student, the "Add Students" permission is required. 

To personalize the grading, pacing, and grade weights settings, the "Change Pacing, Grading, and Assessments" permission is required. 

 Note

If your school uses Single Sign-On (SSO) Partner Integration, because students will automatically get their identification details and integration identifiers set up during secure sync, you should not use the Import Student tool. However, for those schools using SSO with an Identity Provider, such as Google, you can use the Import Student tool and you need to provide the student's SSO identifier.

  1. Click Students

     Note

    For schools with enabled Single Sign-On (SSO) functionality, the template contains the fields needed to create/register students and use SSO. You need the students' organization Login usernames from your Identity Provider (IDP).

  4. Enter the required data in the template and save as a .csv file.

     Note

    For the Campus ID column, you can enter multiple campus identifiers for a student by using the pipe ( l ) symbol to separate values.

     Yield

    Campus identifiers MUST match identifiers already set up by the Admin. During import, if campus ids do not match, an error message appears.

  5. Click Browse and locate the .csv file.

     Note

    Non-SSO customers- If duplicate usernames are detected, click the duplicate Username and enter a new username. Click out of the box to see if that username is unique.

    SSO customers- student usernames are generated by the system based on the SSO ID entered in the template for students.

  7. Set the permissions, enrollment settings, and terms for the students.
