How do I add students to SRI/SRC/SAM?

You should never attempt to add students new to your database. 

The first step to adding students to your school is to first search your SAM database for the student(s). Search your database by student number as there are occasionally name changes or even misspellings with last names. 

• Click Search at the top right hand side of your database. 
• Type the students ID in the Student ID field
• Click Search
• If no results are displayed for that student, check the Inactive Students radio button and click Search again. 
• If the student does show up in Inactive Students:
  • Place a check next to their name
  • At the bottom of the screen click the drop down arrow and click Assign to Class
  • Click Go
  • Select the appropriate classes (always select Entire School) 
  • Click Save
• Enroll the student in the program
  • Double click the students name
  • Click Manage Student Enrollment
  • Place a check next to the programs the student will be using. 

The second step if you do not find students in active or inactive accounts would be to ensure the student was not at another VCSC school previously. If they were, you will need to email the previous schools Media Specialist and have them deactivate that student for you. Once they are deactivated, you will need to perform the above steps for moving students from Inactive Accounts. 

Finally, if they are a brand new student to the corporation or the previous Media Specialist does not have that student, please submit a SRI/SRC help desk ticket with the following information: 

First Name, Last Name, Student ID, Grade and Teacher

**Along with never adding new students, please do not deactivate students from your database**
