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
- Open the course you want to enroll students in.
- Click the Students tab.
- Click Enroll Students.
- 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.
- To add more students, click Add Another Student.
- Click Enroll Students (the button shows the count of students you’re about to enroll).
Importing students from a CSV file
- Open the course you want to enroll students in.
- Click the Students tab.
- Click Enroll Students.
- Click Upload CSV and select your roster file.
- In the column mapper that appears, match each column in your CSV to the correct field — First Name, Last Name, and optionally Student ID.
- 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.
