About Student Usernames and Passwords

Student usernames are typically assigned when your school or district imports your student roster at the beginning of the school year. After assigning it once, usernames do not need to be reassigned for subsequent terms.

If students are added with the username left blank, they will receive automatically generated usernames. However, the auto‑generated username may be difficult to type, so the better practice is for your school or district to specify usernames when preparing the roster.

You cannot edit student usernames in MAP Reading Fluency—only passwords. If you need to change usernames, contact a leader with the Data Administrator role. They can assign the username for a group of students or individuals.
