Step 5: Add students to the system

In order for students to access MicroGrade Online, you will need to add them to the system. They will then be able to log in and view their own grades.

To add new students manually:

1. Click on the Manage Students link on the right-hand side of the page under the My School heading.

2. The Manage Students page will appear. Click on the Create New Student button.

3. The Edit Student Profile page will appear. On this page, you will need to fill in the requested information:
   • Unique ID: This is used by the system to identify the student. This needs to be unique, otherwise you will receive an error message asking you to enter a different ID.
   • Password: The student's password. They will use this and their ID number to log in - so be sure to assign a secure password.
   • First Name
   • Last Name
   • Email Address: Make sure this is entered correctly - this will be used by their teacher to send new grade notifications as well as ID/password information.

4. Click the Submit button to add the student.

Alternately, you may want to upload a list of students to the system - the system will then automatically create a new set of students. In order to do this, you will need to create a text file listing the courses and use a pipe character to separate each field of information.

You can create a text file manually or use one generated by your school's student information system. Each student record in your text file should be in this format:

Unique Id|First Name|Last Name|Email

A sample student's record will look like this: 02105|John|Smith|jsmith@chariot.com

You do not need to specify a password for each student - a random password will be generated for each student.

To upload your text file of students:

1. Click the System Setup link that appears on the right-hand side of the page under the My School heading

2. The System Setup page will appear. Click on Upload Data

3. The Upload Data page will appear. Click the Upload Students link.

4. The Upload Students page will appear. Click the Browse button - you will need to locate the text file you created. When you have selected the file you want to upload, click the Upload button to proceed.

5. A new page will load and display the status of your upload, along with any errors encountered. When the upload completes a Click here to continue button will appear.
