How to create multiple student accounts at the same time

Please ask your school’s Kognity Admin to enter the ‘Manage School’ section.

Click on the 'Manage students' tab, click on 'Add student' and click on 'Bulk add students (CSV)'.

Begin by selecting the year group the students will be a part of. This is important, as the year group determines what type of access the students have, and when their accounts will be archived.

If you are uploading a new cohort of students and the relevant year group has not yet been created, please return to the ‘manage school’ interface and go to the ‘year group’ tab to create a new year group first.

Then, upload a CSV file with the first name, last name and email of the students to be uploaded. If you need a blank template to fill in, you can download one by clicking ‘download blank CSV template’.

IMPORTANT: Please delete the first row with the column titles in before attempting to upload the CSV file.

Please ensure that when uploading the file, it is a CSV format and you have removed the column titles (First name, Last name, Email address). If your file is not a CSV, you can change it by opening the file on your computer, and clicking ‘save as CSV’ or ‘export as CSV’.

When ready, please click ‘review upload’ to review. You’ll be able to look over the details of what you’re about to upload.

Clicking ‘import to Kognity’ will begin the upload process. Please note that this may take a few minutes. You’ll see a success message when it’s finished! If your students' names don't immediately appear on the list, please refresh the page.

Don’t forget to now group these students into classes - you can check how to do so here.

If you have any questions, please reach out to your account manager or to support@kognity.com
