This training module will demonstrate, through the user interface, how to create, edit, manage, and delete Classes in PearsonAccessnext.
Note: you may use the Student Registration/Personal Needs Profile (SR/PNP) import process to create Classes for several students at a time. However once the file is imported and students are set into certain classes, the editing and deleting functionally is not available through this same process. You will need to edit and delete these Classes through the user interface.

Classes allow students to be grouped together for reporting purposes and is used later to identify a group of students to be placed into a test session. LEA/district and school personnel can choose to use a term other than classes to refer to this feature.
