# Add Students

Adding Students to Ludus is simple and is great for tracking class attendees and credit through the student credit feature. Students can be added individually or through a bulk import. This will walk you through how to add those students individually. Check out the drop-down menus below for the method that best suits your needs.

Students will also be automatically added to your student list if they are signing up for a **Class** through your Ludus account.

## Bulk upload a list of students

If you have a large list of students you would like to import into the Ludus system, you can bulk import from the **Students** tab. To do so:

:::::WorkflowBlock
::::WorkflowBlockItem
Create a CSV file of your student information. Each bit of information should be in its own column. At a minimum, the file should include the student's first name, last name, and email.

:::hint{type="info"}
Here's a sample of what that CSV could look like and the information that can be imported.

:::WorkflowBlockItem
From the top navigation bar, click **More** --> **Students**.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Click **+Add Student**.
