Cristina Hernandez Updated by Cristina Hernandez

To get your school started with Scoir, you'll need to export and share data from your Student Information System (SIS). This guide outlines what information is required and how to prepare it.

📤 What data should be exported?

We need the following information from your SIS:

Click the link above to jump to the section that lists the required and optional fields to export and send to Scoir for parents.

📌 Important things to know before you begin

  • Supported file types: Please provide your exported data in either Excel (.xlsx or .xls) or CSV (.csv) format. These are the only file types Scoir supports.
  • Make sure each parent is only listed once in the exported file:
    • Parent address is not supported on multiple lines.  There should be one column for address 1, one column for address 2, one column for city, etc.
    • Don't use things like expandable rows or multiple lines for a single piece of information (especially addresses) as this can impact the import process and skew data.

Exporting parent data and importing it into Scoir allows parents and guardians to create accounts, giving them access to their student's profile, college list, cost of attendance calculator, and other valuable tools to support the college planning process.

When exporting parent data:

  • Each parent/guardian must have a unique email (no duplicates).
  • Each parent in the file must be in a separate row, even if multiple parents are listed for the same student.
  • Parent emails must be personal (No school-issued emails).

Below are the required and optional data fields you can include in your parent export:

Required Parent Fields:

  • Student ID
  • Parent First Name
  • Parent Last Name
  • Parent Email Address (personal, not school-issued email)

Optional Parent Fields:

  • Cell Phone (10-digit phone numbers only)
  • Home Phone (10-digit phone numbers only)
  • Address (international addresses are not supported)
  • City
  • State
  • Zip
  • Parent ID
