In this article, you will learn how to add multiple students to a section using your Chat Portal.

Last updated - April 25, 2024

In your Chat Portal, there are a few ways to add multiple students at once: uploading a CSV, inputting student information into a table, adding student emails, pulling students from Google Classroom, or having students use the Join URL.

ATTENTION: If your district has an integration with Clever or ClassLink, Skill Struck will sync your students over for you once the integration is approved. These steps are not necessary.

Adding Students With the Join URL

1. Click "Sections" from the Chat Portal homepage.
   
   
   
   
2. In an existing section, click the "Students" button.
   
   
   
   
3. Click "Enable join URL."
   
   
   
   
4. If students already have a school account with Google, Microsoft, Clever, or Classlink, they are able to log in with those credentials to create a Skill Struck account.
