How rostering works

Once you have chosen a method, you can expect the following:

Self-Managed One-Time Assisted Automated
Initial rostering
We provide guides
that walk you through
how to roster users
and classes manually.
You use in-product
tools to update
rosters.

We provide import
templates and
instructions for
uploading your data.
Once received, our

Technical Services
team validates the
data and then
imports the users and
classes in bulk. We
then verify with you

that accounts were
successfully created.

Use your SIS to
manage users.


Subsequent updates
to rosters

You use in-product
tools to update

rosters.

After initial import,
you use in-product
tools to manually
update rosters
without assistance

from Imagine
Learning.

Changes are reflected
in automated,

regularly scheduled
imports.

How users log in
Users log in manually. Users log in manually.
Single sign-on (SSO) is
only supported with
Automated rostering.

Users log in manually
or using SSO if the
district has it.

Next Steps
Not all Imagine Learning products are the same, so it is best to reach out
to your Account Executive or CSM to learn what options are available for
your district/school.
