Upload Student List

Securely Upload Your Student Data

Use Upload Student List to send us a file of incoming first-year students or a large group of transfer students to add to Unique Schools.

Only adding a few students? Use Add & Edit Students/Staff instead.

Keep student information secure. We do not recommend sending student data by email. Upload your file through Administration > Upload Student List on your Dashboard.

1. Prepare your file

  • Save your file in CSV (.csv) format. This is the only accepted format.
  • Put all year groups you are submitting into one file. Only one file can be stored at a time.
  • Include the required student details listed below.
  • Include at least one complete parent/guardian contact for every student.

2. Check the details to include

Include the following details for each student. Optional details are labelled below.

Student details

  • Student ID — PPOD / Department ID
  • VSware Unique ID — required if your school uses VSware
  • Student first name
  • Student surname
  • Year
  • Class
  • Student date of birth — optional

Parent/guardian details

Provide at least one complete contact under Mother/Guardian 1 or Father/Guardian 2. For each contact you include, provide:

  • First name
  • Surname
  • Mobile number
  • Country code — required if it is not Ireland’s code, 353

If you include a second parent/guardian, provide the same details for that contact.

A parent/guardian contact is required. We cannot add a student without one.

Optional details for VSware schools

You can also include:

  • VSware Mother’s Username
  • VSware Father’s Username

4. What happens next?

The Unique Schools team is automatically notified when you upload your file. You do not need to email or call to tell us.
