Bringing in your students

You already keep your students somewhere. Bring the whole list in at once from that spreadsheet, rather than adding them one by one: every address on it is asked to join. Owners, admins and anyone whose role has Manage access to Students can add students from a sheet.

Before you start

Section titled “Before you start”
  • The file is a CSV or an Excel file (.xlsx). Tuevia reads its first sheet.
  • The first row holds the column headers, and every row after it is one student.
  • One column holds each student’s email address. Nothing else on the sheet is read: the students fill in their own details when they join.

Add students from the spreadsheet

Section titled “Add students from the spreadsheet”
The Upload step of Add students from a sheet, with a spreadsheet chosen, and the file box and Continue highlighted
  1. Choose the file
  2. Continue
Add students from a sheet, Upload
The Review and fix step: a grid of email addresses with the ready and needs-fixing counts, an address marked as not valid, and Skip rows that need fixing and the Add button highlighted
  1. An address to fix
  2. Skip rows that need fixing
  3. Add
Review & fix

  1. On Teaching → Students, press Add from sheet.

  2. Click the box that says Click to choose a file, and choose your spreadsheet.

  3. Press Continue.

  4. Check that the column holding the email addresses is chosen under The email, and press Continue.

  5. In Review & fix, click an address with a red outline, and correct it.

  6. Or press Skip rows that need fixing to leave out every row that still needs a fix.

  7. Press the add button, which counts the ready rows: Add 5 students, for example.

If you see more than one location, choose Home location for these students above the grid first.

Students added says how many students went in, and how many rows were left out. Tuevia does not keep the rows it left out: correct them in your spreadsheet and add them again.

What happens next

Section titled “What happens next”
  • Each address is asked to join. Until they accept, the students show as Invited — waiting to join, and they are Inactive until they are enrolled in a group, which is the next step.
  • Keep one sheet per class? Bring each one straight into its group instead, and its students are added and enrolled together: Adding a group from a sheet.
  • Every step and message on the way: Adding students from a sheet. One student at a time: Adding a student.
  • Next in Getting started: opening your first group.
