Bulk Import Students into a Class

This article will walk you through the process of bulk importing students into a class.

From the dashboard, click on the Classes main navigation option.

Once you are on the class list page, identify the class you want to bulk import students into. Click on the action button for that class and select Import Students.

Once you click on the Import Students menu options, a modal will popup asking for the import information:

1. File upload (required): This is the CSV file that contains all the students you are importing into a class. Download a sample CSV file.
2. Class (optional): This field should be pre-populated with a class at this point. You can change this value if the wrong class is populated. If you clear out this field, students will not be imported into a class, but will be imported into the main student list.

When the import file is finished processing, you will be direct to an import confirmation page. This will give you an opportunity to review the imported students and make any necessary changes. Let's review some of the important elements on this screen:

1. Import Type: This will let you know what type of import will happen for a particular student:
   1. Insert: If a student doesn't exist in the system, you will see an insert label. A new student record will be created for this student.
   2. Update: If a student does exist in the system, you will see an update label. The students data will be updated with the imported information. All previous testing data will not be impacted by this import.
2. Action Menu: This will allow you to manage a student's import record:
   1. Edit: If you want to change any of the import details, use this option. If the student already exists, it will not update that record until you confirm the import.
   2. Delete: If you want to remove an import record, use this option. If the student already exists, it will not delete that record.
3. Confirm Import: Once all the student data looks good, click on the confirm import button to complete the student import process.

Once the import is completed, you will be redirected to the student view of that class.
