Introduction
A Collaborative Admin user can choose to add a single student account or upload multiple accounts into the Student Learning Portal (SLP). This process describes how to create and upload a comma separated values (CSV) file to create student accounts in bulk.
There are three steps:
Note: After student accounts are created, the system will automatically make a guardian account. Once the student has been enrolled in a course, an email message will be sent to the guardian which will contain their account setup instructions. These accounts are generated with the intent of keeping guardians informed of student progress.
