Adding Students

Once a new cohort is admitted, you will want to give them access to Exxat Prism! You can add individual students, or bulk import multiple students at a time. You can also refer this to as activating student accounts.

Adding Individual Students

Select Students from your left-menu.
The page will load all the students in the system.
Click on the +Add Student button.
A drawer will open where you can enter the student details. Click Save when done.
If your school uses SSO(Single sign-on service), make sure to enter the SSO Key on the Academic section, Click on pencil icon to add the key

You also can update the key if needed.
Please note that first name, last name, school email address, and cohort are mandatory fields.
The newly added student will show on the top of the grid after successfully adding them as 'Active'. The grid will re-arrange to alphabetical order once any action has been taken on the screen.

Using Bulk Import:

Select students from your dashboard or left menu.
Select Setup from the ribbon at the top of the page.
Open Student Management on the left panel and select Bulk Import.
The system will display any previous bulk imports. Click the + icon to begin a new import.
A drawer will open with three steps. On step one, first read the given instruction and download the import template.
The import template will have various columns, make sure you have the following information as it is required:
1. Student first name
2. Student last name
3. Email address
4. Cohort
Add in the data for the students you’d like to import on the template. Once done, save your change and head back to the system.
Some items to keep in mind:
1. Some fields require information to exist in the system before you can associate it with any students. If you provide details for an item that does not exist in your database, the system will not be able to process it.
  1. Cohort
  2. Group
  3. Enrollment Calendar (term + date)
  4. Graduation Calendar (term + date)
  5. Student Category
  6. Campus
2. The Student ID field will remove zeros from ID numbers that begin with a zero. To prevent this, highlight the entire column (column D) and change the format to Text.
3. If providing date of birth, enrollment date, or graduation date, please change the format to Text before adding data. The import file will remove zeros from your dates and will not meet the format requirement (MM/DD/YYYY).
4. You will not be able to associate staff and faculty when importing students, but you can do this once the import is complete.
5. On step 2, provide your template a name, and upload the import template you recently added student information to.
Once the analysis is complete, click Next.
If you realize you added the wrong file, click the trash bin to upload another file.
On step 3, the system will show you any errors or warnings. Hover over the highlighted items to see what needs to be addressed before proceeding.
If you need to make changes, click Previous and re-upload the import template once done making edits.
If there are no errors, click Import.
A validation message will appear. Enter the # shown and click Import to proceed.
The drawer will close, and your import will be listed and show as In Progress. Click on the refresh icon to view any updates.
Once successful, the status will update, and your students will be loaded in the system as 'Active'!
