What happens when a student is first loaded?

When a student is added to Hāpara Dashboard via the Hāpara Data Loader, the following actions take place:

• • The student is added to the Google Group for the class
  • Student subject folders are created within the class subject root folder and shared with the student and teacher (optional)

What happens when existing students are updated?

Whenever student enrollment changes, a new student load needs to occur in order to add or remove students accordingly. When this occurs, the Hāpara Data Loader identifies any differences between the current data and the most recent upload. These differences are then rectified through corresponding updates to Google Suite in the form of:

• Google account updates
• Adding/removing students from Google Groups
• Creation of Google Drive folders for any new classes

What information do I need to load students into classes?

The only required piece of information to load a student into Hāpara Dashboard via the Hāpara Data Loader is an account identifier. 

• email: Google Apps account username

• One row per student: 

• One row per student per class

• Comma-separated classes:
