Importing Student Data from Other Systems

Importing student data from other systems is completed using the Student Information Import. To import and post student records, complete the following steps:

  1. Select Import/Export in the top navigation bar to open the Import/Export menu along the left side of the page.
  2. Expand the Data From Other Systems option in the left navigation menu and select Student Information Import.
  1. Select Import Wizard in the Student Information Import header.
  2. Select the Upload upload button icon and navigate to the local copies of the appropriate CSV files to select them for upload. A message is displayed in the upper right portion of the page indicating that the file upload has started. When the process completes the files will become available to select.

    Caution: When generating a file, be sure to choose the CSV UTF-8 (Comma delimited) (*csv) format and not the generic CSV (Comma delimited) (*csv) format, or you may receive an error message stating that the file is not valid.

  3. Select the files to import and select Next. If one or more of the files are not in the appropriate format, a message is displayed below the file manager and the Next button is unavailable until a valid file is selected.

    Tip: Once uploaded , you can multi-select files to import by using your keyboard. If you wish to select multiple files that are listed next to one another, press and hold shift and select the first and last file from the list. If you wish to select multiple files not listed beside one another, hold Ctrl and select your desired files.

The default selections shown on this page are taken directly from your school's global posting options. See the Global Posting Options help article to learn more about these options.

Tip: Any changes made to the import or posting options during the import process will only be applied to the currently selected files and will not update the global posting options for future imports.

Select Import after reviewing and optionally updating the associated import and posting options. The Student Information Import window is closed, and a message is displayed in the upper right portion of the page indicating that the file import process has started. A separate message is displayed once the file import process has finished. Once this message appears the associated result report is available to review.

Note: For information on reviewing the results report, see the Student Information Results Report help article.
