Bulk Importing Users

If you're switching to Simplecourse from another platform, you can import your existing users in bulk via CSV.

How it works

  1. Go to Users and click Import Users
  2. Select the course you want to enroll users in
  3. Upload a CSV file
  4. Review the import summary and confirm

The import runs in the background. You'll receive a summary once it's done.

CSV format

Your CSV file needs an email column. first_name and last_name are optional. Any extra columns are ignored.

Example:

email,first_name,last_name
[email protected],Jane,Doe
[email protected],John,Smith

Good to know

  • Users who are already enrolled in the course are skipped automatically — no duplicates
  • If a user account with that email already exists, they'll just be enrolled in the course
  • Invalid email addresses are skipped
  • The file must be UTF-8 encoded
  • Bulk import is available on all plans
