Question 17

Why has DMAC not rolled up my students yet?

Accepted Answer

DMAC imports the most current roster file submitted by the district. At the

We will follow up with districts in early September if they have a current contract and roster imports have not been established for the current school year. If districts do not have an automated roster file, they have to pull a file from their SMS and upload it through Utilities for import. Once the roster file is imported, accounts in utilities will match the district’s SMS for teachers and students.  Read More (https://www.dmac-solutions.net/utilities/upload)
