Before attempting to add a class with this method, search for the class to confirm that it does not already exist.
TheQuick Class Upload allows users in unique situations to create a class and enroll students into the class using a single file. Most classes are created through a data sync and do not require this process.
For each file upload, a user with the appropriate permissions must select a specific Grade, Course and School.
Step-by-Step
Select Rostering, and then select Classes.
Select the ellipses in the top right of the Class Config section, then select Quick Class Upload.
Quick Class Upload uses a three-step process:
Step 1 - Generate a Roster File
Select the Grade, Course, and School that match the class(es) you are creating.
Select the Click to download template button. A roster file of students (.csv) downloads to your device.
Step 2 - Update the Roster File
Open the roster file. (Note: Column A shows Student SSID.)
Enter a class name for each student (row) in the class_code column.
The naming convention should help you identify these students and classes. We are not looking for any specific code here. e.g. Jones_p3
Save the roster file as a .csv file.
Step 3 - Upload the Roster File
In the Quick Class Upload window, select Browse to upload the modified roster file. You can also drag the file into the upload box.
Select Upload. The new classes and enrollments appear in Class Config.
If you receive "School with sourced ID 'xxxxxx' does not exist" error message...
You must update the school code in the roster file.
Open the roster file (.csv).
Right click the school column label, then select Format Cells...
In the Category box, select Text, then Ok.
Enter a leading zero in Column E so that each school code is 6 digits. Save as .csv file.
Re-upload the file in Step 3 of the Quick Class Upload page.
