Add 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. 

Add Individual Students

1. Select Students from your left-menu. 
   
2. The page will load all the students in the system.
3. Click on the +Add Student button. 
   
   
4. 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 in the Single Sing-on (SSO) Key field.

You also can update the key if needed.

First name, last name, school email address, and cohort are mandatory fields.

Adding the student automatically register the student to all the courses in the selected cohort.  You can choose to not to register the student to the courses and do it later by unchecking the box at the end of the Add Student drawer. 

 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.

8. 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
