Adding students is an essential part of setting up learners on SimFlow. You can create student profiles, assign students to the relevant cohorts, and configure their simulation access based on their requirements. Students can be added** individually** or added in larger numbers through a **bulk upload**, making it easier to manage student enrolment efficiently.

Let’s get started 🚀

## Add a Student

Add an individual student by providing their personal details, assigning them to a cohort, and setting their simulation credit and access preferences.

**Info:&#x20;**&#x57;hen the user's sign-in access ends, credits do not expire. This is a separate account-level setting.

## Bulk Upload Students

Add multiple students at once by uploading a **CSV/XLSX file**. This is useful when you need to create several student profiles for the same cohort. The upload **pre-creates student profiles without sending invitations**, so you can invite these students later.

- Leave the **Credits** cell empty, or type **Unlimited**, to give a student unlimited credits. 
- Leave the **Account expiry date** cell empty for no expiry date for the account.
- Up to **500** students per upload.
- Use the provided template to make sure your file has the required fields and format.
