This article is intended for enrollment administrators whose districts have enrolled previously using one of the proprietary mCLASS methods outlined below. If you are returning and have not added any Amplify programs or worked with Amplify’s Technical Onboarding team to migrate to a new enrollment method for the 2023-2024 school year, you should continue using mCLASS Enrollment. If you have added Amplify programs, please speak with your Amplify Customer Success partner before you begin enrollment for the new school year.
Note: Once your district has started classes and you have begun your Amplify curriculum and/or assessment programs, changing enrollment sources can be highly disruptive and is discouraged. If your district has extenuating circumstances that require you to change how you enroll, please contact your Customer Success partner.
During implementation, your enrollment contact will work with you to determine your ID settings and data sharing policies. Before you assess students with mCLASS products, please ensure all your staff and student information is up to date. In addition, you can use any of the tools described in this document to manage your records at any time of the year.
Enrollment Options
We provide a variety of services to fit your enrollment needs throughout the school year:
mCLASS Self-Service Enrollment (SSE): a batch enrollment tool for uploading mCLASS CSV files to Amplify
mCLASS Auto Self-Service Enrollment (Auto SSE): a batch enrollment tool that automatically sends your mCLASS enrollment CSV files to Amplify using secure web transfer
mCLASS Manual Enrollment: a set of tools for adding, viewing, and editing staff, student, and class rosters
mCLASS Self-Service Enrollment
mCLASS Self-Service Enrollment (SSE) is a tool that you can use to import large numbers of student, staff, and class records into the system at the beginning of the school year or any time you need to update a large amount of your enrollment data. With mCLASS SSE, you can manage and maintain sizeable staff, student, and class rosters by uploading your local enrollment spreadsheets.
If you have high student mobility in your district, you can use mCLASS SSE to process your enrollment data as often as you need to keep your student records current. Two options are available to update your enrollment records in mCLASS SSE:
Update & Add is selected by default. This option updates your records and adds new records to your existing roster.
All-In-One Replace completely erases the records in the enrollment system and replaces them with the records in the spreadsheet you upload. Use this method with caution and only if you are absolutely sure you want to delete the records not included in the spreadsheets you are uploading.
mCLASS Auto Self-Service Enrollment
mCLASS Auto Self-Service Enrollment (Auto SSE) is a web service that automatically receives your enrollment data via our Secure Landing Zone service, which incorporates both authentication and authorization to keep file transfers secure. Unlike mCLASS Manual Enrollment and mCLASS SSE, you can schedule mCLASS Auto SSE to run at any time without intervention. It adds, updates, or replaces records in the system using your enrollment spreadsheets and reports success or any issues by email.
To use mCLASS Auto SSE, you must have a verified Amplify account with a user name and password, your account and district must be authorized by Amplify to initiate a transfer and access the Secure Landing Zone, and you must have system-level access privileges.
Two options are available to update your enrollment records with mCLASS Auto SSE:
Update/Add is selected by default. This option updates your records and adds new records to your existing roster.
All-in-One-Replace completely erases the records in the system and replaces them with the records in the spreadsheets you upload. Important: use this method with caution and only if you are absolutely sure you want to delete records from the system that are not found in the spreadsheets you are currently uploading.
mCLASS Manual Enrollment
Amplify also offers mCLASS Manual Enrollment, which you can use at any time to add or manage a small number of your enrollment records by entering the information directly into the mCLASS Staff, Students, and Classes pages instead of uploading spreadsheets. Keep in mind that you must also make these changes to your local enrollment spreadsheets to keep them in sync with your records in the system.
You can also use the Administration pages to review your enrollment records to ensure they are accurate.
When you update staff, student, and class records with Manual Enrollment, the information you enter replaces the info currently in the system once you click Save.
