For New Programs & Program Service Administrators
Setting up your new subscription—or getting started as a new administrator—is easy with Aquifer. Program Service Administrators are the primary manager of an Aquifer account for each institution. If you are the Program Service Administrator or another lead administrator for your program, you have a few quick and easy steps to follow to provide access for your faculty, administrators, and students.
Once you have access to Aquifer, be sure to complete the Administrators: Managing Users & Courses training case in the Dive In: Making the Most of Aquifer resource in your Aquifer account.
The following steps are needed for a smooth and seamless start:
- Carefully review Aqueduct roles and responsibilities to fully understand the available roles and their associated permissions. You have complete control over who can view reports, add student rosters, and access student data, the system is designed so you can manage your subscription in a way that best fits your program needs. Decide who will fill each of these roles in your program as the first step to your successful startup.
- Prepare your student roster. Your student roster should consist of your students’ official institutional email addresses in a comma-separated (CSV) file in a format that can be copied and pasted into Aqueduct.
- Gather administrative and teacher email addresses. Similar to your student roster information, you will want to have email addresses for everyone filling an administrative role in a comma-separated file in a format that can be copied and pasted into Aqueduct.
- Once you have made your role decisions and gathered the information above, you’re ready to review our support resources below and begin your work.
