Quick Class Upload

For each file upload, one must select a specific grade, course, and school.

NOTE: Before creating a quick class, establish a naming convention for a class code.

1	Navigate in ADAM to Rostering | Classes – select the ellipsis in the top right of the page.
2	Select “Quick Class Upload.”
Step 1: The file generated in this step is populated with one row for each student in the grade and school selected.
3	Select the grade to match the class(es) you are creating.
4	Select the course to match the class(es) you are creating.
5	Select the school to match the class(es) you are creating.
6	Select the “Click to download template” button. The file download is named using the school, course, and date. An example file would be named “quick_class_James H Bean School_Grade 8 Science_05-01-2024.csv”.
Step 2: You will modify the file from Step 1 by adding the class assignments for each student.
7	Open the download file from Step 1 (look in the download tray or download folder). A file made up of six columns will open for you. Column A (user_sourced_id) is the State Student ID (SSID). Columns B and C are for the student names. Ignore and do not modify columns D and E.
8	Populate the class_code column with the name of the class. There should be 1 row per student being enrolled in the class. The value entered into the class_code cell is used to set both the class_code and the name of the class in ADAM. The class_code must be a unique value for the school. It could be your existing class/section code or some combination of the school, teacher name, and academic session (e.g., JHBean_Wilson_23). Consider generating a class file from your student system + the SSID of the students in those classes. Using the existing class/section IDs as the class_code. The class code is displayed as the proctor group name in the Administration.
9	Saving the CSV File The file format is critical. Even though you will be editing this file in Excel (or Numbers or Sheets), you will need to save this file as a particular file type called CSV (Comma-Separated Value). There is some difference between using a Mac or a Windows machine, but these steps are very similar. Find and select “File” at the top of the Excel window. (This is an example of a Mac screen.)
	Select “Save As” from the available options.
	Select where to save your file, name your file, and set File Format to “Comma Separated Values (.csv).”
	Select the “Save” button.
Step 3: Upload the file into ADAM by browsing out to the file saved in Step 2.
	Once the CSV is uploaded, ADAM modifies the CSV validation criteria based on the success of the upload. If the criteria is highlighted green, then the CSV file passes the criteria test. Otherwise, you will receive an error message identifying why the file failed the test.
10	Select the “OK” button to accept the added classes and students.
