Learn how to manually create and manage a class section in Compass Curriculum.
Classes displayed in Compass are created during the SIS data sync process via Clever, ClassLink or .csv files.
🚩The process outlined below will only create additional classes in the Compass platform, and that information does not write back to your SIS.
Step 1: From the Compass admin dashboard, click Users, then Classes on the left-side menu.
Step 2: Select the + New Class button at the top of the page
Step 3: Create a title for your new class. District Admin will also need to select a school. Then, press Create Class and close the pop-up window.
Step 4: Assign an Instructor to the class using the yellow ‘Manage Instructors’ button in the far-right Actions column. This will open a new tab where you will select the Instructor. The Instructor can be yourself.
Step 5: Check the box beside the name of the Instructor. You can also use the Search tools to find a specific Instructor.
Step 6: Press Save Teachers at the top of the page.
Step 7: Close the Instructors tab, and return to the User > Classes menu. You should now see the teacher you selected as the assigned Instructor for the class.
Step 8: Assign Students to the class using the blue ‘Manage Students’ button in the far-right Actions column. This will open a new tab where you will select the Students.
Step 9: Remove the class filter by clicking “Reset” in the Advanced Search field to see all students.
Step 10: Check the boxes beside the names of the Students you want to add to the class. You can search for specific students using the magnifying glass icon at the top of each column.
Step 11: Press Save Students in the top right corner.
Step 12: Close the Class Students tab, and return to the User > Classes menu. You should now see the number of students you selected listed in the Students column. Your class is now set up and saved in the Compass platform
