Documentation and Help
As of fall 2016, UTIPS is syncing classes and students with the information from each district's Student Information System (Aspire, PowerSchool, Skyward, etc.) In order for teacher accounts to sync students and classes, the teacher CACTUS ID number must be added to the teacher account. This can be done manually or with an upload to an entire district or school.
Instructions: Adding CACTUS ID's to Teacher Accounts - Individual Teacher and CSV Upload Method
