Adding students

Open Students in the menu.

If your school uses Academium SMS

Bring students across from SMS instead of typing them. See Importing from Academium SMS. They show Academium as their source.

Adding one student

  1. Click Add Student.
  2. Enter the First Name and Last Name.
  3. Choose a Username, or pick one of the suggestions. It is used to sign in and cannot be changed later.
  4. Choose the Class and Section.
  5. Add the Admission Number if you have it.
  6. Click Create Student.

New students start with the default password password123. They can change it after they first sign in.

Importing many students

  1. Click Import.
  2. Download the Excel Template (.xlsx) or CSV Template (.csv).
  3. Fill in one student per row. Required: first_name, last_name, username. Optional: email, admission_number, phone, gender (male, female, m or f), date_of_birth (YYYY-MM-DD) and address.
  4. Under Default Values, choose the Class and Section for everyone in the file.
  5. Upload the file (Excel or CSV, up to 10 MB) and click Import Students.

Surepass shows each row as it imports, then a summary: Total Rows, Imported and Failed, with the reason for each failed row. Fix those rows and import them again.

Imported students also get the password password123.

With Academium SMS

Admit students in SMS, then bring them across. See Admitting a student in SMS.

Common problems

A student cannot see their tests. Check their class and section. Tests are scheduled for classes.
