Critical Information:

It is critical that you do not change any of the Student List spreadsheet’s column headings (row 1) and that you do not change an existing students Code (column c) = the student ID number – If the spreadsheet’s column headings are changed, the file will not be imported. If the student’s code is changed from the previous year to a new identifier for the current year, then the student will be imported as a new student and there will be no link to the student’s previous  data. This means there will be a double record of the student with no correlation with previous data.
