Formatting the CSV

The spreadsheet should include 3 headings - first_name, last_name, and id. Educators can download a template here: Student Username Template. Here's an example of how the spreadsheet should be formatted:

first_name	last_name	id
John	Smith	js1

Keep in mind, Student Usernames are space and case sensitive. 

Uploading the CSV

The CSV should be saved as a .csv file. When saving the file in your program (Microsoft Word, Google Sheets, Numbers, etc.), please ensure you are saving as a CSV.
