Adding Students

There are three ways to add students to a class in Penmate.

Add Manually

1. Open the class you want to add students to
2. Click Add Student
3. Enter the student’s first name, last name, and email address
4. Click Save

The email address is used to send assignment notifications and submission links to the student.

Import from a Spreadsheet

For larger classes, you can import students in bulk:

1. Open the class
2. Click Import Students
3. Upload a CSV or Excel file containing student data
4. Map the columns to the required fields (first name, last name, email)
5. Review the import preview and confirm

The spreadsheet should include columns for first name, last name, and email address. Penmate will guide you through mapping your columns if they don’t match exactly.

Import from Google Classroom

If your school uses Google Classroom, you can sync your class roster directly:

1. Go to Classes
2. Click Import from Google Classroom
3. Authorize Penmate to access your Google Classroom account
4. Select the Google Classroom class you want to import
5. Penmate creates the class and imports all students automatically
