Before students can access your Career Center platform, you must create them in the Manage Users section of your site. Use this article to learn how to create new students via Manage Users.
Each term, as you onboard new students onto your site instance, you will need to create each student account in order for students to access the platform. This can be accomplished via API, via Bulk Student Upload, or via the Manage Users page.
Accessing the 'Manage Users' Section
To begin the process of adding a student manually, you first need to navigate to the 'Manage Users' section within your 12Twenty platform.
- Log in to your administrator account
- From the dashboard, locate the navigation menu on the left-hand side.
- Click on 'Site Management'
- Select 'Manage Users' from the dropdown menu.
Adding a New Student via Manage Users
Once you are in the 'Manage Users' section, you can proceed to create a new student user account. This process involves entering the student's information and setting up their account so they can access the 12Twenty system.
-
Within the 'Manage Users' > Students & Alumni, click on the 'Add New Student' button.
-
Next, fill out the fields including the required fields. If you skip a required field (denoted by an asterisk*), you will be unable to save the new student. This typically includes their name, email address, and any other pertinent details such as their program/major or graduation year.
Pro tip: The required fields for creating a new student user via Manage Users are the same required fields for adding new student users via the Bulk Student Upload tool. -
Assign the appropriate roles and permissions to the student.
-
Click the 'Save' button to finalize the addition of the new student user account.
- The email you enter must be the same email the student uses to sign up for the platform
- "User Role" governs the student's ability to use aspects of the site
- "Student Group" governs permissions and visibility for modules of the site - Once you have added your new student, they will appear on the "Manage Users" page and you will be able to search for them throughout the platform.
Please note: Once a student is added to the platform, they will have to use the "Sign Up for an Account" option on the Student Log In Page. Sending a password reset will not work since the student has not established an account yet. To learn more, please see this article.
