How to roster students:

2. Manual Entry: Although you'll likely want to bulk upload your students, you can still add students manually. Click "Add Student" and enter the information into each field. 

A) Enter first name and last name. Last name is optional. 

B) Enter username. Username must be unique. It can be an email address, although it doesn't have to be.

C) Enter password. Password should be between 6-20 characters. 

D) Select class names from the list to assign to your student. Select multiple classes by holding the CTRL button and clicking each class. 

E) "Grade" is optional. We highly recommend leaving "Grade" blank. 

F) "User Language" is optional. We highly recommend leaving "User Language" blank.

G) Parent or guardian email / Below 13 years: These are optional fields. These fields exist to help comply with COPPA. If you choose to enter a parent/guardian email, the system will send an email to the parent/guardian email address that the parent/guardian will need to respond to before the student can use the system. If you have another method of complying with COPPA or if you have students over the age of 13, you can uncheck the box for "Below 13 years" and leave the email field blank. Please refer to this document for more detail.

H) Click "+Add More" to add another student while on the same screen.

2. Bulk Upload: Click on the "Bulk Upload" button and follow the instructions on the screen. You can refer to this document for instructions on bulk uploading. 

a) Download the CSV or XLS template of your choice. 

b) Fill out the template with student information according to the instructions on the screen. It's very important to follow these instructions, as they will help you have a successful upload. See below for helpful hints. 

c) Upload the saved document with bulk student information.

Helpful Hints for Bulk Uploading Students:

• Read the "Bulk Upload" instructions closely, as they provide important guidelines that will help you have a successful upload.

• Class names must be entered exactly as they are spelled in the system.

• Do not delete any of the column headings. Be sure you have nine column headings in your document.

• "Grade" and "User Language" are optional. We highly recommended leaving these columns blank. Do not remove the column headings.  

• If students are over 13 or if you choose not to use our parental approval feature, leave the column for "Parent or guardian's email" blank, and enter "No" under "Parent approval required".

• Username may include @ and . as well as the characters in the instructions.

• If you are having trouble uploading documents, please contact portals@lab-aids.com. Include the bulk upload document and the error message you're receiving, and we can help diagnose the issue.
