Import Course Requests into PowerSchool from Xello Course Planner

[tmsmgarza]

Good afternoon,

I am trying to utilize Xello (formerly Career Cruising) for Course Requests. How do I import the requests into PowerSchool? 

I found this document, but I can't seem to find this information.

Thank you for the assistance.

Before you can import course requests you would need an export from Xello in the form of a Tab delimted .txt. 

PowerSchool requires specific column headers for importing requests, you can find it here:

This sheet has multiple tabs but you would just need the Requests tab.

Hello, 

Did you ever end up doing this? We also use Xello and I am trying to figure out if it's worth doing course selections on Xello to then transfer to PS.

We've done this for years. It works very good. The export from Xello is formatted exactly as it should be for the PowerSchool import.

Great thank you so much. I will be looking into it all this summer.
