Add, Edit, and Delete Students Through File Uploads

If you have many students to add, edit, or delete, it may be easier to perform those actions through file uploads. This task requires familiarity with composing comma-separated value (CSV) files or working with Microsoft Excel.

For complete instructions about uploading files, you can review Uploading Records. This topic contains information specific to uploading students.

Alert: If you are trying to move a student from one school to another, please do so from the Manage Students page and NOT through file uploads. Trying to move a student via file uploads may erroneously cause the student to be dual-enrolled instead of moved. For information on moving students, you can review Moving Students Between Schools.

To upload student records:

1.From the Students task group, select Upload. The Upload Students page appears.

2.Select Download Template to access all templates.

3.Download a template and save it.

4.Fill out the template, then upload it to TIDE.
For additional information on the options available in this upload file, check the PDF version of the TIDE User Guide on the Portal: http://clearsight.portal.cambiumast.com/.

5.Follow the steps in the wizard to complete the upload.
If you need more guidance for the upload process, refer to Uploading Records.

6.Check the results of the upload by performing a search: 
Students who were not previously set up in TIDE will be added in TIDE.
Students who were already in TIDE will have their accounts modified with the updated content from the upload.
