Add and Manage Students

Your roster belongs to the course, so every assessment in the course uses the same student list. Add students before you schedule an administration.

Important: Use the email address each student will actually use. Students reach their assessment through that email, and if they create a LASSO account it must use the same address.

Open the roster

On Courses, click MANAGE STUDENTS on your course’s row. (From an assessment’s administration page, you can also click MANAGE STUDENTS under Assessment Roster.)

Upload a roster (recommended for more than a few students)

  1. Click DOWNLOAD ROSTER TEMPLATE. A CSV file downloads.
  2. Open it in Excel, Google Sheets or another spreadsheet program. Enter one student per row: first name, middle name (optional), last name, email, and any optional fields.
  3. Save it, keeping the .csv format.
  4. Click Add Course Roster and choose your file.
Add Course Roster window with a drag-and-drop area for the CSV file, an UPLOAD FILE button, and a DOWNLOAD ROSTER TEMPLATE button

Tip: If the upload reports Invalid Emails for addresses that look correct, add those students one at a time with Add a student and let us know at contact@lassoeducation.org.

Add one student

  1. Click Add a student.
  2. Enter First Name, Last Name and Email. Middle Name and Opt. Fields are optional.
  3. Click Add, then OK on Student(s) added!

Tip: If Add stays grey after you type the email, click another field.

Optional fields

Opt. Field 1 to Opt. Field 3 are for anything that helps you manage your course, such as a student ID or section number. They appear as columns in your roster.
