Resolving Roster Sync Errors

View Errors

When Clever begins syncing data to MAP Growth, you may encounter errors that cause student, educator, or school records not to sync. If you have records that don't sync from Clever, download the Roster Sync Error Export file. This export file shows a list of all errors from your last Clever sync that prevented data from importing into MAP Growth.

  1. Log in to MAP at start.mapnwea.org.

  2. Choose Rostering from the main menu. Then select Import Profiles/Rostering (requires MAP role of Data Administrator).

  3. Select the Automatic Roster button.
  4. In the Errors, Data Not Imported section, select the Export Errors button.

Note: If you do not find the student or educator error in the export, log in to clever.com and confirm you are sharing the missing data with NWEA.

The results are delivered in CSV format and packaged in a .zip file. If you have any questions or concerns about resolving these errors, please contact NWEA Partner Support for assistance.

Common Errors

The following are some of the more common errors you may encounter with your sync.

Note: All the fixes provided require an overnight sync between Clever and MAP Growth. After this overnight sync, the error will be resolved and the record will appear.

Student Errors
