Editing Students

Follow the steps below to edit a student's personal information (characteristics are changed separately). Keep these restrictions in mind:

• You cannot edit information for a student who is not currently enrolled in a school. If you want to change information for an unenrolled student, you must enroll the student in a school first.
• School administrators can only edit information for students in their school.

1. On the Home page, click Users.



2. Click View Students.

3. Search for the student chose information you want to edit.

   • In the School drop-down list (if available), choose whether to search in all schools or a specific school; you can also search for students who are not enrolled in a school. The schools that are available depend on your role.

   School personnel can only search for and edit information for students in their school. They do not have a School drop-down list.

   • Choose a year from the drop-down list or leave All selected.
   • Choose a class from the drop-down list or choose to search for students in any class, those not in a class or all students. (You can only select a specific class if you are searching in a specific school.)
   • If you want to find a specific student, enter the student's first name, last name, ID and/or user name. You do not need to enter the entire name or ID; the software can find partial matches.
4. Click Search.



5. The students who matched your search will be listed at the bottom of the page. Click the name of the student you want to edit. (If the list is long, you will see only a part of it; you can click and to move forward and back in the list.)

If the student is assigned to more than one school, the student may be listed more than once - once for each school. Be sure to select the student at the school for which you want to edit the student's information.

6. You will go to the Details tab on the Student Information page. There, you can change most of the student's information by deleting the old information and typing the correct information. To choose a different gender, year, ethnicity or language, use the appropriate drop-down lists.



Remember that when you change the student's year, the year will also be adjusted in previous and future school years. In the school year before this one, the year will be one level lower. In the next school year after this one, the year will be one level higher. For example, if you set the student's year to 3 for this school year, the student's year will be 2 for the last school year and 4 for the next school year.

Information that is required is marked with an asterisk (*). Other information is optional--you do not need to leave information in any field that is not marked with an asterisk unless this information is useful to you.

When you change passwords, you will see dots instead of the characters you type.

If you want to require the student to change his or her password the next time the student logs in to this program (not any locally installed programs associated with this software), tick the User must change password at next login box. This requirement affects programs that require the student to log in to this browser-based software to practice, take quizzes or take tests. The requirement does not affect separate programs that are downloaded from the Software Requirements page.

If you change user names and passwords, students will need both their user names and passwords if they log in to the browser-based software.

7. To save the changes to this student's information and exit the page, click Save. If you want to change information on other tabs before saving, click those tabs and make your changes before you click Save. If you decide not to change the student's information, click Cancel.
