Administrations: Create and Merge Temporary Students

Create Temporary Students

Create a temporary student when a student needs to test but does not yet have a permanent student record in ADAM.

Common scenarios include:

  • Newly enrolled students whose records have not yet been loaded.
  • Transfer students who are not yet included in district or state data files.
  • Students whose records were omitted from a roster upload or synchronization process.

Once created, the temporary student can:

  • Be assigned to a proctor group.
  • Be scheduled for testing.
  • Receive approved accommodations, if applicable.
  • Begin testing immediately.
