If you use a database or spreadsheet program to maintain class lists, you may be able to export class lists as comma separated values (CSV) files. Refer to your database or spreadsheet program's Help or user's guide for more information.
After exporting your class list as a CSV file, format your file in a text editor so that the first three values are ID Number, First Name and Last Name as shown in this example.
For more information, see CSV file formatting.
