Adding Students to a Class

There are several ways to add students to a class. The right option depends on whether your school uses Clever or ClassLink, whether the student already has an Everfi account, and whether you are adding one student or an entire class.

If your school uses Clever or ClassLink

If your class is rostered through Clever or ClassLink, student rosters are managed through your district's system. You do not need to create Everfi accounts for your students or give them a class code.

If you need to add a new student, make sure the student is added to the correct Clever or ClassLink roster. Your district administrator can help if you do not have permission to update your roster.

Once your Everfi class is connected to the correct roster, students can sign in through Clever or ClassLink to access their assigned courses.

If your students already have Everfi accounts

Do not create new accounts for students who already have Everfi accounts. Creating a second account can separate students from progress and course history associated with their existing account.

Instead, have each student:

1. Sign in to their existing Everfi account.
2. Enter your class code.
3. Join the class.

The student will then be added to the class using the existing account.

Add new students to an existing class

If your school does not use Clever or ClassLink and your students do not already have Everfi accounts, you can create accounts for them from an existing class.

1. Go to My Classes.
2. Find the class you want to update and select View Class.
3. Open the Actions menu.
4. Select Add Students.
5. Choose whether you want to create a single account or multiple accounts.

Create an account for one student

Use this option when you need to create an Everfi account for one new student.

1. Select A single account.
2. Confirm the class you want to add the student to.
3. Under Student Details, enter the requested student information, including:
   • Age range
   • First name
   • Last name
   • Parent or mentor email, if applicable
4. Under Login Credentials, create a username and temporary password.
5. Select Save to finish or Save and Add Another to create another student account.

Students are prompted to change their temporary password the first time they sign in.

For students under 13, only the student's last initial is displayed.

Create accounts for multiple students

If you need to create accounts for several new students, you can upload them using a CSV file.

1. Select Create Multiple Accounts.
2. Choose the class you want to add the students to.
3. Download the sample CSV file.
4. Add your student information using the required headers and formatting.
5. Upload the completed CSV file.
6. Select Submit to begin the import.

After the import is complete, the students are added to the class roster.

Having trouble with your CSV file? See Student CSV Upload Troubleshooting Guide for help with common formatting problems.

Add students from My Students

For classes that are not rostered through Clever or ClassLink, you can also manage students from My Students.

From this page, you can create an individual student account or upload multiple new students using a CSV file. Students must still be associated with a class so they can access the courses assigned to that class.

Add students while creating a new class

When you create a new class that is not rostered through Clever or ClassLink, you can choose how students will join:

• Share class code: Use this option for students who will join the class themselves. Students with existing Everfi accounts should use the class code while signed in to those accounts.
• Create individual accounts: Use this option when you need to create new Everfi accounts for individual students.
• Import class roster: Use this option to create multiple new student accounts using a CSV file.
  

If a student already has an Everfi account, do not create another account. Have the student use the class code to join the new class from the existing account.

After students are added

Once students are added to a class, they can access the courses assigned to that class. You can view students in the class roster and track their course progress and scores in the Gradebook.
