As a teacher or administrator, you have the ability to add student users directly to the platform using the student management view under Users and Groups. Students can either be added individually through the + New Student function or added in groups using the Import function.
Adding Individual Students
Adding an individual student can be completed by using the + New Student button on the detailed table in the Students view.
- Access the Students view — Go to Data > Users and Groups > Students.
- Add a new student — Use + New Student, located in the top right of the detailed table, to add a new student.
- Add the student's information — Add the student's first name, last name, school, and (optionally) grade.
- Choose the account type — If the student will use an email to log in, provide the student's email and choose a temporary password or invite the student to create a password. If the student will use a username to log in, provide the student's username and temporary password.
- Save the student — After saving, the student will show up in the Students view and can be accessible throughout the platform.
Importing Multiple Students
Adding multiple students to a specific school can be completed using the Import button on the detailed table in the Students view.
- Access the Students view — Go to Data > Users and Groups > Students.
- Filter to a school — This will enable the Import button on the table. (Note: you are required to choose a school to use the import feature.)
- Open the import portal — Use Import to open the import portal. You will see a download for a template file, an option to upload an import file, an import button, and additional instructions.
- Download the template — If this is your first time importing students, download the sample .csv file. You can use this template to organize your student import file. (Note: this is a different template than the teacher import.)
- Add students to the template — Follow the instructions on the import portal to add students to the template file.
- Import the students — Use Choose File to upload the import file, and then use Import to import the students. Once the import is complete, students will be accessible throughout the platform.
Best Practices
- Use the import portal if you wish to import more than a few students. It's fast and easy once you get used to the template file.
- It's recommended to use email instead of usernames. The login experience is more seamless with an email.
- If you have a seat-based account, you will need to license students after you have added them to the platform. This can be done with the Licenses view in Users and Groups.
Summary
Student management lets you quickly add users to the platform, whether individually or in bulk. Use + New Student for single entries or the Import tool for large groups—then license students as needed to complete setup.
