How do I automatically roster with Istation?
Learn how to use Istation's roster tool to quickly and easily organize your students.
Rostering with Istation is the process a district or campus uses to populate user accounts within our program. Typically, rostering is handled by the district data contact or the person appointed to handle importing rosters for the district.
Istation accounts provide three levels of user access: Managers, Teachers, and Students.
- Managers: Manager accounts exist at either the district or campus level and provide an organization-wide view and control for their respective domains. Managers can access a variety of reports within their organization.
- Teachers: Teacher accounts provide access to a subset of student accounts organized by classrooms. Teachers can manage Istation activities and data for only students assigned to them.
- Students: Student accounts allow students to access Istation to take their ISIP assessment, work through their individual learning paths, and view their ISIP data and goals.
All student data is tied directly to the student account and exists independently from any classrooms or teachers assigned.
Rostering Options
Rostering can be completed through automated or manual processes. Istation supports rostering through various third-party solutions, including SFTP, Classlink, and Clever integrations.
See the options below for more detailed steps to complete the rostering process.
*Before rostering, please verify that the student ID format (i.e., 5 digits; 1 letter, 4 digits) has been set with Istation Support and that your Campus Codes are set in Istation.
Clever
Clever can be used to import managers, teachers, students, demographics, and classrooms. Please request a connection to Istation via your administrator account. Clever handles both rostering and single sign-on.
