The Bulk Create Students screen allows postsecondary schools to enroll up to 500 students into a selected section simultaneously. Users will also be prompted to select a Funding Source and Start and End Date.
To view or edit Bulk Create Students, the Bulk Create Students permission must be enabled via Users > Profiles > Students.
1. In the Students menu, click Bulk Create Students.
The Bulk Create Students screen allows postsecondary schools to enroll up to 500 students into a selected section simultaneously by entering the required information.
Be sure the correct school is selected from the school pull-down located in the header, if you have access to multiple schools.
3. Enter the Number of Students to create. Up to 500 students can be created at one time.
4. From the Section pull-down, select the section in which to enroll the students.
Note: This field is not required. If a selection is not made, only an enrollment record will be created.
If there are fewer available seats than students being created, student records are still created. Students are scheduled into available seats, and any remaining students are created without a schedule record.
5. Select the applicable Funding Source from the pull-down.
6. Enter the Start Date and End Date for enrollment.
Once the student is scheduled into the applicable section, attendance can be taken as of the State Date entered here, which displays on the students' schedules.
8. Click Create Students.
Clicking Create Students creates an enrollment record for the selected school as well as a schedule record for the selected section (if a section is selected).
Students created through Bulk Create Students are placeholder records. The selected Funding Source is used as the student’s last name, and generic first names (such as Student 1, Student 2, etc.) are assigned automatically. Enrollment Codes and Grade Levels are not assigned and must be updated manually as needed.
Once students are created, a confirmation displays.
You can access the list of students created once you've navigated away from this screen via Students > Add/Drop Report.
