Fields include:

Import Type: Defines the type of profile data to be imported.

Option	Result After Import
Combined (Students, teachers, and school information)	Students are ready for testing Provides teachers with access to their students’ reports
Add/Update Students Only	Students are ready for testing
Add/Update Instructors Only	Provides teachers with access to their students’ reports
Add/Update Additional Users	Users appear in the system with one or more of these roles: Proctor, Administrator, Data Administrator, or Assessment Coordinator Existing teacher profiles gain additional roles you may have assigned

Term: The instructional term for which profiles are enrolling or to which profile data will be linked. The following options appear if Combined import type is selected and data exists for the selected term:

Add/Update: Creates new profiles and modifies existing profiles, while leaving profiles not included in the imported files unaltered.
Replace: Creates and modifies profiles, deletes from the MAP system all class and program associations for schools included in your roster file, and then replaces associations using data from your import files. If your roster file does not contain complete class associations, this option may temporarily affect instructor access to reports and remove students from reports. Class associations give instructors access to reports, and students must have class associations to appear on MAP reports.

Important! The results of an import cannot be undone, except through another import. So, if you use Replace, make sure you are importing a complete roster file and programs file. If you are unsure, consult an NWEA support representative. (Click Contact in the top navigation pane for contact information.)

Roster File: File in .csv format containing student and teacher profile data, school and class information, and other registration data for your district. A roster file is required to import profiles.

Programs File: A file in .csv format containing programs data. A programs file can only be uploaded with a Combined import type.

Uploaded Files Info: The name of a file you have selected to upload for import. Only one roster file can be uploaded at a time. A programs files may be uploaded along with the roster file.
