For institutions other than U.S. higher education, an email address is not required. Instead, specify a valid Cengage username for each student in the roster.
Note This feature is not available for K-12 instructors
who manage their courses through NGLSync.
Your roster file must include the following columns with the indicated column headings specified in the first row:
| Heading | Description |
|---|---|
| username | Specify a valid Cengage username for each student. |
| firstname | Required: Student's given name, up to 32 characters. |
| lastname | Required: Student's surname, up to 32 characters. |
| password | Required: Enter initial passwords for students with no preexisting account. Must be 6-17
characters and include at least one number and one capital letter.
Tip Use an algorithmic formula in your spreadsheet to create
unique initial passwords for each student, for example, by concatenating
the first four letters of the last name and the last four digits of the
student ID.
|
| student id | Optional: Student's institutional ID, up to 20 characters. |
Note The required roster data must be provided for all students listed in your
roster file.
Although still required, passwords and account details are not changed for students with preexisting accounts.
