Upload a Bulk List of Students
This page contains instructions on how to upload a bulk list of students that you can use for any bulk operation in Paradigm.
Overview
The Upload Bulk List menu will provide you with the option to create a bulk list of students from a CSV file with some of the student details to be used in bulk operations in Paradigm.
If you can’t find the Upload Bulk List option under the Student menu, you can check with your Paradigm Administrator to enable the menu option on your site, contact our Support Team, or try to access this option via this link https://institution.edu.net.au/php/bulk_list_from_csv.php, just change the institution part to your assigned business or institution’s domain name.
