Through the CSV (comma-separated value) import system, it is easy to create a large number of student accounts quickly. To import students in mass, follow these steps.

1. Open Excel and create a file with First Name, Last Name, Email, and Password (optional). The first row will have header names and will be ignored. Save this file as a comma-separated value list (CSV extension).
