How to Add Students to a Course

Getting started

1. Log into your Scrum Alliance dashboard.
2. Navigate to the Courses tab on the left-hand side of your dashboard home screen.
3. Find the course for which you'd like to add students, and select the three-dot icon to the right of the course name.
4. Select View details from the three-dot menu.

Add students from the "Manage course" page

1. Selecting View details will bring you to a page titled Manage course.
2. From here, you can navigate to the student upload form one of two ways:
   1. Select Upload students —> in the student information menu, under "Total students uploaded." Or select the blue button with the name Manage students.
3. You will be taken to the Load students page.
4. Check the top of the page to make sure you have selected the correct course. Loading students on the wrong course type cannot be undone and requires support and developer time to correct, which can delay the certifications for students.

You'll see two options for uploading students:

1. Option 1 is for bulk upload. You'll want to have your data in the following order: Last name, first name, email address.
   • NOTE: This screen is for bulk upload. If you prefer, you can choose option 2 for a CSV file upload.
   • When using the bulk upload feature, in the large text field labeled "Last name, first name, email address," enter student data with each field separated by tabs or commas. You can copy student data from an Excel spreadsheet and paste the information directly into the text field.
   • Select Next (review and upload students) when the complete list has been uploaded.
2. Option 2 allows you to upload students with a CSV file. 
   • Select Choose File to begin your upload. 
   • Follow the instructions for what to include in your CSV file.
   • Select Next (review and upload students) when the file is uploaded. 
3. The data you entered in Step 1 will be displayed in Step 2.
   • Verify that the data is correct or make any necessary corrections/additions before continuing.
   • You can select Add another row to add additional students.
   • Select Create certificants to add the students listed to our database.
4. On the next screen (step 3), you will receive verification of the number of students you added. You will also see a list of the user accounts that were created.
   • You can go back to the dashboard from here or select Continue to Payment to pay for and activate students.
   • If you do not pay for the students at this time, you will be able to do so later from the Courses section of your dashboard.
