Tips
- This process cannot be used to update existing students; it can only create new students.
- Do not make any changes to the template file headers or your upload will not process.
- Students will not receive an email that their account has been created.
- If you do not input email addresses for students, they'll log in using a site code.
- The "Student ID" field maps to sis_id in our system. Sis_ids should never be changed or reused for different users. If you need to change a user's sis_id or reuse a sis_id (not recommended), contact your Digital Implementation Specialist for guidance on making this change.
