Rostering Data
Summit K12 offers two methods for partners to share their rostering data: OneRoster and Manual Rostering. Review the table below to determine which method is best for your adoption.
| OneRoster | Manual Rostering | |
|
IT/Technology Administrator uses a roster integration or Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) to send us OneRoster data. |
Summit K12 Support provides template spreadsheets and instructions for compiling and submitting your roster data. Once the completed template is received, our Support team will process the data. We then verify with you that the accounts were successfully created. |
|
| ClassLink | SFTP | Manual Rostering |
One of the rostering methods must be selected even if partners are utilizing an LMS integration.
LMS Integration
Summit K12 offers three LMS integration options: Schoology, Canvas, and Google Classroom. All three integrations include SSO, content deployment, and grade passback options.
In conjunction with one of our rostering methods, the LMS integration will handle class creation and student enrollment.
Alternative Class Creation and Enrollment Options
If you're not using an LMS integration - no problem! Partners can choose between OneRoster or Manual Rostering to create classes and enroll students:
| OneRoster with ClassLink or SFTP | Manual Rostering | ||
| Roster Account Provisioning* |
