Uploading new students on Essential Assessment
Essential Assessment allows you to bulk-upload student accounts through our template. You're also able to create classes manually, inputting students one by one.
Creating new student accounts (bulk upload)
Select Upload New Students to create new accounts for students who have not previously used Essential Assessment before.
To upload classes, you must use our class template. When using this template, please do not remove or edit any pre-existing information in the template. Select Download Template to access this.
The following information is mandatory for each student: name, ID, year level, and class. Non-mandatory fields like usernames and passwords will be automatically generated if not inputted. Once saved, click Choose File to upload then template and then Upload 2025 Students to initiate the student account creation.
The pre-existing template must be utilised - the system is unable to process spreadsheets formatted differently.
Once the upload is successfully completed, you will find the new classes in the class list immediately.
Creating new classes (manual creation)
Click Add Class.
Name your class and click Add Class.
Click into the newly created class and click the + icon on the bottom right-hand corner to add students.
Click Create New Student(s).
From here, change the number to the number of students you would like to add and click Next.
Enter the students' details. You can update all fields, including the username and password.
After inputting the student details, select Create Student(s) in the bottom right to instantly create the class.
