Upload student IDs in MathXL and MathXL for School

Updated 04 Aug 2023

When you assign student IDs, the IDs display in your Gradebook, are included when you export results, and show when you upload student tags. Student IDs are assigned per-class, not per student.

Student IDs cannot exceed 50 characters and can contain only alphanumeric characters and spaces.

You also can change student IDs on their Results page.

  1. In your Gradebook, select More Tools >Edit Roster.
  2. Select Add / Edit Student IDs.
  3. Optionally select Students must enter their ID before working in course.
  4. In the ID Name box, optionally edit the text that students see when they are prompted to enter their IDs.
  5. Optionally select Show Student IDs in Gradebook to display student IDs in your Gradebook.
  6. Optionally select List Students by ID to display students in order of ID in your Gradebook.
  7. Enter the student IDs. Either:
    • Manually enter or edit IDs for students in the table.
    • Select Upload Student IDs to access a spreadsheet template that contains student information or create your own. Follow the instructions to enter student IDs in the template and then upload the file in your Gradebook.
  1. In your spreadsheet application, create a file in the following format:

    Enter the information:

    • Enter last names in column A, starting in row 2.
    • Enter first names in column B, starting in row 2.

      Enter students' names exactly as they display in your roster. Case is not important.

    • Enter the IDs in column C, starting in row 2.
  2. Save your file in CSV format.
  3. In the Upload Student IDs window, select Browse to navigate to your CSV file and upload it.

The student ID settings in a coordinator course are inherited by the member sections in a course group. The settings are also preserved in copies of a course.
