Helpful Tips for the CSV Upload to Upload Students
Learn some helpful tips for your CSV upload.
If the Student CSV is not uploading, try these tips:
- Split up the list into a couple different excel sheets. If one of the sheets uploads, but the other one doesn’t, then you can narrow the problem down to less students/rows to investigate.
- Control+F’ and look for a space where there shouldn’t be one (i.e., in an email address)
- Search for duplicate student IDs or Email addresses
- Scroll through slowly to see if anything looks weird (i.e., missing information in cells)
- Change the font (funky symbols may not show up in all fonts)
- No periods are allowed in first names, only last names. Apostrophes and hyphens are allowed everywhere (ie, First: Beyonce’ Last: Knowles-Carter is allowed, but First: St. Last: Elmo is not).
- Also try highlighting and right-clicking on the cells below the last of the names and click Clear Contents
