Once the file is open, enable editing and expand the fields.

IMPORTANT: Columns with an asterisk are required fields. These fields are Username, Class Id, Start Date, and End Date.

TIP: Reference your previously downloaded course list spreadsheet for Class ID. Reference the Users data grid for Username information.

Type the usernames of the students you wish to enroll in the Username* column, as well as the Class Id*, Start Date*, and End Date* in their respective columns.

TIP: To expedite this step, copy and paste the students’ usernames from the Username column in the Users data grid.

IMPORTANT: Remember to name your Excel file and save it to an easily accessible location, as you may have more than one set of enrollments you wish to import. Consider naming it by date or grade.

Close the Excel file.

Select File. Or, drag and drop your file from your save location.

If your file uploads successfully, with all required columns included, you will receive a confirmation.

TIP: To remove the file before upload, or to replace the file, click the trashcan icon.

When ready, click Submit Import.

A confirmation banner displays, and the enrollments are then pushed for approval.
