The Roster Type of your class must be set to Students in order for you to track session history, student attendance, and assessments, and also to assign the students you are creating to the class.

    Use the table below to learn more about each field:

    Field Description
    Display Name The name you will see in the educator portal when taking attendance and looking at class rosters. During active sessions, the name entered will appear to you, the student, and other students in the same class. We recommend giving each student in the License Group a unique display name, even if they are in different classes, so each student is distinguishable from the others. 
    Student ID Optional field. Use, if needed, to keep track of the student's ID assigned by your school.
    First Name Optional field. The student's first name(s).
    Last Name Optional field. The student's surname(s).
    Default Class If you do not select a class now, you can assign the student to a class later. The Default Class is the one which will display in the Students List on your Manage Students page.
