School import considerations

Update existing schools

You can create new schools or update existing schools during an import.

Use one of the following options:

  • Don't update existing schools to create new school records from the import file.

  • Update existing schools using School Code to update existing schools by matching the School Code in the import file to the School Code in Schoology.

To update an existing school, the import file must include the correct School Code.
