Adding Students to a Course

Overview

This article explains how to enroll students in a course. You can add students one at a time or import a full class roster from a CSV file. Students must be enrolled before you can record assessment ratings for them.

Prerequisites

You must have a course created first. See Creating Your First Course.

Steps

Adding students manually

  1. Open the course you want to enroll students in.
  2. Click the Students tab.
  3. Click Enroll Students.
  4. Enter the student’s First Name and Last Name in the first row. Student ID is optional but useful for matching students to your school’s records.
  5. To add more students, click Add Another Student.
  6. Click Enroll Students (the button shows the count of students you’re about to enroll).

Importing students from a CSV file

  1. Open the course you want to enroll students in.
  2. Click the Students tab.
  3. Click Enroll Students.
  4. Click Upload CSV and select your roster file.
  5. In the column mapper that appears, match each column in your CSV to the correct field — First Name, Last Name, and optionally Student ID.
  6. Review the imported rows, make any corrections, then click Enroll Students.

Your CSV must have a header row. The column names don’t need to match exactly — AstraGrade will ask you to map them during the import.

Student IDs are optional but recommended if you plan to cross-reference AstraGrade data with your school’s information system.
