Admin can also add students to a grade level in bulk. To learn more please visit the [Import Students](/v1/docs/import-students) article.

### Adding a Student as a Teacher

From the teacher dashboard ensure the Add Student field is expanded. Then enter the first name, last name, gender (select non binary if applicable) and click Add. This will create a grayed out Student Cell. See GIF below.

If your admin used the [Import Students](/v1/docs/import-students) feature your roster will already be visible.
