UTIPS Solutions

Theresa Wilson from SESC sent along this information and thought that it might be useful information for this audience:

I worked on uploading SIS student data to UTIPS and kept having the file show up with problems when I checked the file in the UTIPS Admin tool. Turned out that I was saving the text file as Unicode in Notepad and it was putting some kind of invisible data in front of my first line. When I saved the same file as ANSI and checked the file in UTIPS it worked and uploaded great! Now the next big questions about the upload for me are:

1. How to remove the previous term student data without removing test data,
2. How to rearrange the information in the “class_title” column so that it makes sense for the student login (in most schools it is nice to have it say “1st Hour Math 7” instead of “TeacherName – Class Name – Period” because it alphabetizes the way the data is imported)

Please leave a comment if you have further questions or information about uploading student data to UTIPS from SIS.

Thanks, Theresa!
