The instructions provided in this support article are intended for Individual Teacher Premium plans, Teacher Premium Free Trials, or Teacher Limited account users who would like to import students into a class. Accepted file formats are CSV, XLS, and XLSX.

Create the Student Import File

First, you'll need to make a copy of this file template.  The import headers and column order need to match the template exactly in order for the import to be successful. 

Student_First_Name	Required - Student first and last name must be in separate columns.
Student_Last_Name	Required - Student first and last name must be in separate columns.
Student_Middle_Name	Optional - While the student middle name is optional, the column header must still be included in the import.
Student_ID	Required - Student IDs must be unique and cannot be edited once created. Once a Student ID number is used, it cannot be used again for another student.
GradeCam_ID	Optional - GradeCam IDs are for students to use on printed scan forms and must be numeric - no letters or characters are accepted. While the GradeCam ID is optional, the column header must still be included in the import.
Student_Email	Optional - While the student email is optional, the column header must still be included in the import.
