Adding Students to a Roster

The BrightShift system supports 2 types of rosters, those created through an integrated third-party rostering system like Clever or Classlink and those created manually without integration.

If your school is not using BrightShift with Clever or Classlink you can upload students via batch upload or manually.  Please refer to the Batch Upload instructions.  

To manually add new students, please follow the following steps:

1. From the Roster detail screen select the green box titled "Add/Create New Student.

2. To add a student not already associated with your school click the "New Student" radio option as shown below on the Roster Details Screen about halfway down. 
3. The screen will expand to show the New Student box to provide a means to enter the new student's name. All that is required using this method is the first and last name of the student. 

 4.  When finished entering the student information simply click the "Add New          Student to Roster" button as seen below.

To manually add a student to a roster who is already in the system follow the steps below:

1. select the "Add Existing Student" radio option. This will display a list of all the students currently already associated with your school. 
2. Simply highlight the student’s name with a click to the appropriate row on the student list, multiple rows can be selected at the same time (#3 below). 
3. Click the “Add Selected Students To Roster” button (#2 below).

Note that the columns can be sorted in ascending or descending order for easier location of a particular student. A search box is also available for more direct name searches.

Once students have been added, click “Go Back To Roster Detail” to assign tests.

Students are automatically added to a roster during the Add Roster process when your school is using BrightShift integrated with either Clever or Classlink. Please refer to the Add Roster - Clever Users article for more information on this process.

Please note that students who are automatically added during this process are not automatically assigned. You must still complete the Assign Test process.
