Managing student accounts on EP

Teachers are able to quickly and easily create new student accounts, edit their details, and shuffle them into different classes all from their accounts. This article explains how.

If you're experiencing the error This email address is already taken, the email address is already in use elsewhere. Check out the errors section for more information.

Before we begin:

If your school is integrated with Wonde, you will be unable to make changes to your classes. Accounts need to be managed via your school's Student Management System. Find out more here.

• If you wish to add many students, it’s easier to either:
  • Use our Enrolment Portal to complete a bulk student import.
  • Use the Class Join Code feature.
• Avoid creating duplicate accounts. This helps keep progress all in one place and prevents confusion around licencing.

Locate accounts

Start by logging in and navigating to the Classes tab in your Dashboard.

Use the search bar to locate a specific class or student. Alternatively:

• Classes assigned to you are shown at the top of the page. Click on any to view the details.
• All other classes at your school are listed in the table below. 

Create accounts

Click into your target class, and click + Add Student.

You'll have the option to invite students to the class using a Class Join Code/Link, or enter a student's name manually.

Class Join Codes/Links are a great option if you have multiple students to add to a class. Find out more about managing codes here. Students can add themselves to your class by following these instructions.

To proceed manually, enter the student's name, and any existing accounts with similar names will be displayed. If the student is displayed here, click Add to Class.

Try different iterations (e.g. Matt vs Matthew), to ensure the account doesn't already exist.

For an entirely new account, click Create a new student account.

Fill out any additional details for the student and click Add to class.

With an email address

When adding a student with an email address, the student will automatically receive an email welcoming them to EP. They'll be prompted to log in and create a password. 

Without an email address

When adding a student without an email address, you will be given a temporary password that will need to be given to the student. Students will be prompted to create a new and secure password upon logging in to EP.

Deactivate accounts

To deactivate a student account, you simply need to remove the student from all of their classes. This removes their access and stops them from being able to log in.

Navigate to the student's profile (search for their name in the box at the top of the page, or click their name from the class page). 

Select Remove from class for all classes.

Move accounts between classes

You can shuffle students into different classes several ways in the Classes tab. Here, we'll cover two options:

From a student's account:

Navigate to your chosen student in the Classes tab. Beneath their profile, you'll see a list of all the classes the student is currently enrolled in. 

You can click Remove from class to remove them from that specific class. Click + Add [student] to another class to enrol them into other classes in bulk.

The student can access their account as usual, and the changes to their classes are reflected instantly.

From a class:

Navigate to your chosen class. Here you can + Add student as we did earlier, but you can also shuffle existing students elsewhere.

Check the box next to your chosen student(s), and additional options will display at the bottom of the page. Choose to Remove from this class, or + Move to another class. Both options will remove students from the current class.
