How To Enable Custom Classes After Auto-Rostering

Overview

This article is intended for System Admins that have completed Clever, ClassLink, or SFTP rostering and would like to allow staff members to create standalone classes that will not be affected by automated rostering. Please note that custom classes must be managed independently, and will not be updated with each roster sync. Only students with existing Wayfinder accounts may be added to a custom class, and they must be manually added or removed from any custom classes created.

If you have completed Flat File rostering, see this article on managing rosters after flat files. See this article about custom classes if you have completed Manual Rostering.
