Please ensure you have first created the student accounts. To learn how to upload new student accounts in bulk to Kognity, click here.

Only school Admins can bulk upload student accounts and classes. Click on your initials (located at the top right of the screen) and then click on "Manage school".


​This will automatically open the "Manage classes" tab. Click on the "Add class" option and then click on "Bulk add classes (CSV)" to create classes in bulk.


​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 with the 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."

Once you have uploaded the classes, you will need to select the corresponding subject for each class in the "Subject in Kognity" column and select the end date. 

Review to ensure the correct subject and level are assigned to each class; this cannot be changed later.

Click on "review and import" to double-check that the information is correct. Finally, by clicking "Import to Kognity," the loading process will start. Please note that this may take a few minutes. You will see a success message when it is complete.

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