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. This article explains how.

Before we begin:

• If you wish to add many students, we recommend that you:
  • 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

Accounts for students who are enrolled in classes assigned to you can be found by navigating to the class, and then clicking the People tab.

To find students in other classes, click the View Manage Classes button.

Here, 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. Click on any to view the details.

Adding students

To add students to classes assigned to you, click the Invite students button in the People tab of the class.

In the prompt that appears, you have two options:

• Share an invite link or class code with students to add themselves to your class. This option works for new and existing student accounts.
• You can toggle to Add directly to add students one by one. This option currently works for existing student accounts only.

Adding new students one by one

If needed, you can add individual students manually. We're making updates in this area, so for now you'll need to access the legacy Classes area to do this.

View the class you wish to add the student to, then click the View Manage Classes link.

Here, click Add User, then Student. Enter the student's name.

Click Create a new student account, and fill out the additional details. Once you're ready, click Add to school. They'll receive an email inviting them to log in (if they don't have an email, you'll be presented with temporary details to pass on to the student).

You'll now need to add this student to a class so their account is active.

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.

You'll need to action this from the View Manage Classes area.

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.

Student accounts can be reactivated by adding them back to a class.

Move accounts between classes

You can shuffle students into different classes in several ways in the View Manage Classes area.

Here, we'll cover two options:

From a student's account:

Navigate to the student profile. Here, 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.
