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. Go to the section labelled Pending student load and find the course to add students to
4. Select the Upload students button

Adding students

You'll first be asked to add students either by manual entry or uploading a .csv file that requires a specific format. Please see individual instructions for each option below.

Adding students by .csv file

This CSV file must contain headings to identify the last name ('last name', 'last_name', 'lastname', or 'last'), first name ( 'first name', 'first_name', 'firstname', or 'first'), and email ('email', 'email address', 'email_address', or 'emailaddress') columns which can then appear in any order or position. Any capitalization will be ignored when determining whether a column heading matches. Any additional columns will also be ignored.

Once you've prepared your .csv file, proceed with the next steps:

1. Select Upload CSV
2. Drag and drop a file, or select Upload CSV to locate the file within your device
3. Rows with student information should quickly appear. Check each name and email address for accuracy.
4. After reviewing the entries, select the Submit button

You'll then be taken to the "Manage Course" where you can proceed with paying for the added students if the course is completed. For more information, please see this article: How to pay for students

If you face any errors while uploading the .csv, ensure there are no additional columns. You can also contact our support team to review the .csv to determine what is causing the error to prevent future issues. 

Adding students by manual entry

1. Select Manual input
2. Enter the last name, first name, and email address of the student
