First you must load the advanced actions panel.

Here are the rules that you must follow to have a successful student import.
Once you have completed your import file, save it as a .csv and return to the import form where you downloaded the import template file. Click "Select CSV" and select your saved .csv import file and click "Ok". You will see that the "Load File" button will be enabled. Click "Load File". The system will check your file to make sure it is a valid file type. After this quick check you should see the File Loaded Successfully screen.
Click the "Submit" button to upload your import file and to begin the importing process. You might see a loading screen while your import is processing. Depending on the number of students in your import, this process could take a few minutes. After the import is complete you will be greeted with the post import screen. The Download Import Results link is very important. It will inform you as to if your usernames or passwords had needed to be altered. If you do not download it at this time, you can get it at a later date by using the Download Import Logs feature.
Share Students

If you are very familiar with the student admin panel, you know that there was an Export feature in previous versions.

Send Students
This screen is similar to the previous versions of the Share Students feature. You simple place a check mark beside the students that you want to share. The biggest change to the student sharing process is the smart drop box for course selection. This drop box will contain all courses from teachers that have the same school selected in their PRISM profile. If the course you are looking for belongs to another PRISM user, be sure that they have updated their PRISM profile to match your school. After a course is selected and at least 1 student is selected, the "Share Students" button will activate, allowing you to send a student share proposal to the course you selected.

Here are the rules that you must follow to have a successful student import.
- Usernames must be unique. This means that if you try to use jsmith, and that username is already taken, it will be automatically altered to jsmith1.
- Passwords must be 6 characters long. If the password you enter is less than 6 characters long, the password will automatically be altered by concatenating 1's to the end of it until it meets this requirement. ex ("pass" is converted to "pass11").
- Email address, Groups, and Groupings fields are optional. If you do put an email address in, it must be a valid email address. If you do not have an email address or have groups or groupings, leave the fields blank.
- If you understand how Groups and Groupings work and wish to use them, you can enter the name of the Group and/or Groupings. If the group or grouping does not exist it will be created.
