Adding new student accounts

 Note

This article applies to all programs in the Imagine Learning Product Portal. The steps in this article apply if you have selected to self-roster accounts individually or you are making manual changes with automated rostering.

Both Teachers and Administrators can add new student accounts in the Imagine Learning Product Portal. Each student must have their own account; the sharing of a "generic" account is not permitted.

To add a new student account:

  1. Log in to the Product Portal and click Users & Classes/Groups.

  2. Click Add, then select Add Student.

  3. Fill out the required and/or applicable fields on the Details tab.

    The table below explains each field. Required fields are marked with a red asterisk (*).
    Field Description
    First Name* Enter the student's first name(s).
    Last Name* Enter the student's last name(s).
    External Assigned ID*

    If you use a SIS, you can enter the External ID associated with this student. It will display in the student's account but will not display in reports within Imagine Learning products.

    The External ID must be between 1 and 64 characters in length; in addition to numbers, it can contain letters and special characters.

    • It must be unique within your organization's site code for active students.
    • It must also not have been used for any student deactivated in the last 90 days (to avoid problems in case the student is reactivated).
    Username* Enter the username the student will use to log in. It must be at least 3 characters long and is not case-sensitive.
    • It must be unique within your organization's site code for active students.
    • It must also not have been used for any student deactivated in the last 90 days (to avoid problems in case the student is reactivated).
    Password* Enter the password the student will use to log in. It must be at least 4 characters long and is case-sensitive. 
    Confirm Password* Re-enter the student's password to ensure you've typed it correctly.
    Organizations* Select the school to which the student will be assigned.
    Teachers and School Administrators: You will only be able to select your own school.
    District Administrators: You may select a school within your district; click the magnifying glass to access the list of schools. 

     Caution

    Students assigned the following programs should only be rostered into a single school:

    • Imagine+ Assessment
    • Imagine MyPath Math/Reading
    • Imagine Purpose

    Enrolling these students in more than one school may result in issues such as blocked assessments, missing learning paths, or gaps in reporting.

    (If students are already assigned to multiple schools, please contact Imagine Learning Product Support for assistance.)

    Classes/Groups This is an optional field upon creating the student's account, but eventually you must assign students their classes/groups so that Teachers can view their data. 

    Students may be assigned to 1 or more groups. Click the magnifying glass to bring up a list of available classes/groups. If you haven't yet created the class/group, you can add the student to it later by editing the student's account after the class/group is made.

    Grade Level* Select the student's rostered grade level from the drop-down menu.
    Alt. External Assigned ID

    (Optional) Enter the secondary identifier for the student's record, as determined by your school or district. Often this is a State ID.

     Note

    Imagine Learning does not require this field, but your state might. If your state requires this ID, it must be unique within your site code. This data element will not display inside Imagine Learning product reports, but you can view it when editing a student's account.

    NWEA ID For Imagine MyPath Math and Imagine MyPath Reading students, enter the student's NWEA ID if they have one. The NWEA ID can be used to place students in their learning paths.

     Note

    Entering the NWEA ID for students using other products has no effect within those other products. Imagine Language & Literacy students' NWEA scores are incorporated through an automated sync, so there is no need to enter the ID here as well. No other products in the Product Portal besides MyPath Math, MyPath Reading, and Imagine Language & Literacy integrate with NWEA. 

    Renaissance ID For Imagine MyPath Math and Imagine MyPath Reading students, enter the student's Renaissance Star ID if they have one. The Renaissance ID can be used to place students in their learning paths.

     Note

    Entering the Renaissance ID for students using other products has no effect within those other products. No other products in the Product Portal integrate with Renaissance Star. 

    IEP Indicate whether or not the student has an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) by selecting Yes or No from the drop-down menu. If you leave this field blank, it is the same as selecting No. This field is for reporting purposes only and does not affect the lessons the student receives. 
    ELL/MLL Indicate whether or not the student is an English Language Learner (ELL)/Multi-Lingual Learner (MLL) by selecting Yes or No from the drop-down menu. If you leave this field blank, it is the same as selecting No. This field is for reporting purposes only and does not affect the lessons the student receives. 
  4. Click Continue at the bottom of the tab.

  5. On the Product Access tab, select the products that the student will use. At least 1 product is required.

     Notes

    • You will only see the products that your organization has purchased.
    • Granting students access to Imagine Language & Literacy automatically and simultaneously grants them access to Seuss Corner. Therefore, Seuss Corner is not listed as a product on this tab.
    • If the student is ineligible for a particular program due to their grade level, a red exclamation point appears by that product and you will be unable to enroll the student in that program. Hover over the exclamation point for more information.

     Note

    If you are adding students whose only product(s) are Traverse, Dragonfly, StudySync, and/or Imagine Galileo , you'll be skipped to step 8 because there are no product-specific settings for these products.
