Creating a Student Profile

A student profile is a collection of information that uniquely identifies a student in the MAP® Collapsed Measures of Academic Progress® system. Student profiles include identifying information, grade, ethnic group, and any programs to which they are assigned. This procedure explains the steps necessary to set up a new student profile.

Tips:

To allow a student to take a test in the MAP system, the system must have a profile for the student with basic information defined. In addition, the profile must include the term in which the student will test.
To allow student test results to appear on MAP reports, the student profile must contain complete information. For more information, see Required Fields in Student Profiles.

Important! You must click Submit to create the student profile. If you do not see the confirmation message, the MAP system has not created the profile.
If your MAP session times out because of inactivity before you click Submit, the MAP system does not create the profile, and all of the student information you specified is lost.
