Set Up Students Complete

If you’re a school within a district using Galaxy, you may want to coordinate this process with your district office.

Follow these steps to add the complete list of students to your Galaxy student database. Remember that the upload must contain all of your students using Galaxy. Any existing users not included in this spreadsheet will be deactivated.

Add Your First, Complete List of Students

1. Select “Students” from the navigation pane.
2. Select “Download Student Template”.
3. Populate the template with your students’ information. Please note, student passwords must be eight characters in length. Save a copy of your student upload file in a safe place.
4. Select the upload mode as “Complete” because you are electing to upload information on all students in your district or school.
5. Select “Upload Student File” to complete this process. Student names and information that was contained in your student template file will appear on your screen below the instructions.

Now that you have your classroom(s) created and students uploaded, you may begin moving individual students into the appropriate classroom. This will need to completed from a school admin account or by a district admin viewing as an appropriate school admin.

1. Select “Classrooms” from the navigation pane.
2. Find the classroom and click the Edit icon.
3. You’ll be directed to a page divided into three sections: Name of Classroom, Classroom Students, and Students. This page allows you to change your classroom name, assign additional teachers to the classroom, and add students to your classroom.
4. If you’ve already uploaded students to your school, you will see them in the Students section. When you see the name of a student that should be in your classroom, click on the (+) icon to the right of that student’s name. You’ll immediately see that student’s name move up to the section entitled “Classroom Students”.
5. If you have not uploaded students to your school you can manually add them to your class one-by-one in this section or follow the instructions on uploading students.
