Please ensure you have first created the student accounts. Here are the instructions on how to upload new student accounts in bulk to Kognity.
Only school Admins can bulk upload student accounts and classes. Click on "Admin area".
Similarly, your school's Kognity administrator will be able to click the "Visit admin dashboard" button.
Click on the "Classes" tab. Click on the "Create class" option and then click on "Import CSV" to create classes in bulk.
If you manage more than one school, make sure to select the right one before importing classes.
Next, upload the CSV file containing the class name, user's email, and the role of the person being uploaded (i.e., student or teacher). List all classes one below the other in this same tab.
Ensure that the name of each class is unique. If the class name already exists, this process will append to it. We suggest including the graduation year in the name of each class, for example, "2024 Biology SL - Group A."
We have noticed that naming the class with the grade, for example, "Grade 12 Biology SL - Group A," can be confusing when students change grades to identify the class. We do not recommend naming classes by grade.
If you need a blank template to enter information, you can download it by clicking "Download blank CSV template."
Make sure the file to be uploaded is saved in CSV format. If your file is not in CSV format, you can change it by opening the file on your computer and clicking "save as CSV" or "export as CSV."
After attaching the file, a summary will be displayed for you to review the details prior to uploading and you will need to select the corresponding subject for each class in the "Subject" column and select the end date.
Review to ensure the correct subject and level are assigned to each class; this cannot be changed later.
Clicking ‘Continue to import’ 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 classes don't immediately appear on the list, please refresh the page.
