Adding Students to a Class (New Teacher Experience)

How teachers add students to a class

Teachers can add students in two main situations:

• Adding students to an existing class
• Adding students when creating a new class

The steps vary depending on when you add students and how many students you’re adding.

Adding students to an existing class

You can add students to an existing class at any time.

To add students to an existing class:

1. Go to My Classes.
2. Locate the class you want to update and select View class.
3. Open the Actions menu.
4. Select Add students.

You’ll then choose how you want to add students:

• Create a single accounts
• Create multiple accounts

Creating individual student accounts

Use this option to add students one at a time. This works well for younger students or students who do not use email.

To create an individual student account:

1. Select A single account.
2. Confirm the class you’re adding the student to.
3. In the Student Details section, enter:
   • Age range
   • First name
   • Last name
     • For students under 13, only the last initial is displayed
   • Optional parent or mentor email
4. In the Login Credentials section, create:
   • A username
   • A temporary password

Students must change their password the first time they log in.

Password requirements:

• At least eight characters
• Must include at least two of the following:
  • A letter
  • A number
  • A symbol
• Must not include the student’s name or the word “password”

1. Select:
   • Save to finish, or
   • Save and Add Another to continue adding students

After saving, the student appears in your class roster. You can share their login information when you’re ready.

Importing multiple student accounts

Use this option to add many students at once using a spreadsheet.

To import multiple students:

1. Select Create Multiple Accounts.
2. Choose the class you’re adding students to.
3. Download the sample CSV file.
4. Prepare your CSV using the required headers and formatting.
5. Upload the completed file.
6. Select Submit to start the import.

Once the upload is complete, students are added to the class roster.

Adding students when creating a new class

When you finish creating a new class, you’re prompted to choose how students will join.

You’ll see three options:

• Share class code
  Students enter the code to join the class on their own
• Create individual accounts
  You manually create student accounts
• Import class roster
  Upload a spreadsheet to add students in bulk

You can choose the option that works best for your class and add more students later if needed.

After students are added

Once students are added:

• They appear in the class roster
• They gain access to assigned course content
• You can track progress and scores in the Gradebook
