Can I transfer students?
Yes! You can transfer students from one class on your Dashboard to another. You can also transfer students from one of your classes to the class of another teacher registered with your same school. This article will go over both those options.
Important:
Student progress transfers along with the student wherever there is any overlap between the two classes (the class they are transferring out of and into). For example, if the student completed InfoZones in their previous class, that lesson would appear completed in the new class too if the new class also has InfoZones assigned. This is the case for both coursework and pre-/post-assessment data.
Step-by-step guides to transferring students
Use the tabs to toggle between instructions on both transferring options:
Transferring students across classes
Use this option to transfer a student from one class on your Dashboard to another class on your Dashboard. Follow the steps below to complete this kind of transfer.
In the steps below, I'll transfer student Ida Wells out of my "ELA 10" class and into my "Journalism" class.
-
On your Dashboard, click "Manage" next to "Students" on the class tile the student is currently in.
This will take you to your class roster where you should see the student you wish to transfer.
-
Click "Edit Student" next to the student's name.
-
Click the "Class" dropdown menu (on the top left) and select the class you would like to transfer that student into.
-
Click "Save" before exiting back to your Dashboard.
Make sure the "Class" dropdown now says the name of the class you would like to transfer the student into. Then, click the green "Save" button.
-
Confirm that the student is now in your other class.
Head back to your Dashboard and click "Manage" next to "Students" on the class tile the student was transferred into. You should see them appear in the class roster.
Transferring students across teachers
Use this option to transfer a student from a class in one teacher account to a class in another teacher account. Follow the steps below to complete this kind of transfer.
Please note: This will only work if both teachers accounts are affiliated with the same school/organization in Checkology. If your colleague does not yet have an account, please first ask them to register for educator account and link with your school during registration.
In the steps below, I'll transfer student Rachel Carson out of my "Journalism" class and into my colleague's class.
-
On your Dashboard, click "Manage" next to "Students" on the class tile with the student ready to be transferred.
This will take you to your class roster where you should see the student you wish to transfer.
-
Click on "Edit Student" next to the student's name.
-
Click "Transfer Student."
Once clicked, a popup window will appear where you can select the colleague you wish to transfer the student to.
-
On the "Transfer Student" popup window, select your colleague from the dropdown menu.
-
Click the green "Submit Transfer Request" button.
Once submitted, you will see the following confirmation message.
I've submitted the transfer. Now what?
After you submit the transfer request, your colleague should receive an email with the request. To complete the transfer, they must click the green "Approve this request" button in the email.
This button will bring them to their Checkology educator account where they will be prompted to select which of their Checkology classes they would like to transfer the student into.
Once your colleague has selected their desired course from the dropdown menu, they just need to click the green "Submit" button.
To confirm that the transfer is complete, your colleague can click on "Manage" next to "Students" for the class they specified in the transfer request. The student should appear in the class roster.
