Adding a New Student

This article walks through creating a new student record. If you need to add an existing student to a class, see Adding a Student to a Class. For creating many students at once, see Bulk Import Students.

Creating the Student

From the dashboard, click Create New and select Student.

A pop-up will appear with the create student form:

First Name (required): the student’s first name.
Last Name (required): the student’s last name.
Email Address (optional): useful for matching the student against existing records (to avoid duplicates) and for email-based features.
Identifier (required): the student’s ID number. See identifier rules below.

Identifier rules: if you want students to bubble in their own ID on the answer sheet, the identifier must be 10 digits or fewer and contain no letters. Identifiers that exceed 10 digits or contain letters are still allowed, but you’ll need to print sheets with the student data pre-filled rather than relying on bubble-in IDs.

Once you save, you’ll be redirected to your student list with the new student added.

Next Steps

Add the student to a class so they appear on its roster.
Print an assessment for one of their classes — the student will be eligible to take it.
