Importing and exporting students

Importing students

Importing adds many students at once from a spreadsheet. It is the quickest way to bring an existing school into Academium. Importing needs a paid plan.

  1. Open Students → Student Import.
  2. Choose the class and section the students are joining. Each import goes into one class and section.
  3. Download the template, fill it in, and save it as CSV or Excel.
  4. Upload the file.

Academium checks the columns before it imports anything. If the file is not in the expected shape, the whole file is refused and nothing is imported, so you can fix it and try again.

Tips

  • Import one class and section at a time.
  • Keep the column headings exactly as they are in the template.
  • After importing, check a few students' profiles to make sure brothers and sisters are linked to the same parent.

Exporting students

Open Students → Export to download your students as CSV or Excel, for example to share a class list or keep an offline copy.

Common issues

"The file was refused." A column is missing, renamed or in the wrong place. Start again from a fresh copy of the template.
