Hello Hirama666

Yes, this is possible.

Have you checked the Data Processing document?

Hello, i checked it out and i tied with a CVS file with the same name of each Grade level, but i i try to upload it
The Grade Level Red colored field prevents me from submetting the File.

What did i missed ?

Thanks

Hirama666 The Grade Level Red colored field prevents me from submetting the File.

You must select your CSV column containing the grade levels from that same required (red) Grade Level field...

Hirama666

it says for the whole students
Row #: A user with that username already exists. Choose a different username and try again.

What should i do ! Please

Hirama666

in the Module features it says
Update Existing Students info (identify students based on their ID, Username or Name).
I tried but as i said it gives me the same result.

To update existing students, you should

Have the Student Import Premium module version 4.0 or higher (May 2020)
Select "Update Existing Students" from the dropdown menu.

This is correct, you can't update the username or password.
As for the username, this is logical as updating it is not a good idea anyway. Usernames are account identifiers and identifiers should not change.

Hirama666 What is the proper way to Generate generic Username & Password so Students can login.?

Select "Create Students" from the dropdown
Select "Generic: RosarioSIS ID" from the Username dropdown
Select "Generic: Username + extra:" and fill the extra field below

Now, it is recommended to create usernames yourself using for example, the email address, or the "firstname.lastname" convention, etc.

As for passwords, generic passwords can be easily guessed by other students. So, they are not recommended either.
