How to import past academic history from CSV

  1. 1Click Academics under Learning in the sidebar
  2. 2Click More in the page header, then Import history — the page is titled "Import academic history"
  3. 3Read the File format card: one row per grade (student, year, term, course, credits, grade/percent); missing past years and course records are created for you
  4. 4Under Upload transcript CSV, pick the system the file came from under "Where is this file from?" (or leave Other — a spreadsheet we made); fill in "School that issued these credits" only for credit earned at another school
  5. 5Choose the file under CSV file and click Preview — nothing is written yet; the report counts the grades and lists any new years, grading periods and course records, plus students it couldn't match
  6. 6Click Import — it says what it wrote, and Undo this import reverses it for 24 hours
  7. 7Click Students under People, open the student, click the Academics tab, and find the imported year on the Report cards card
