Batch Student Registration

Welcome to the Batch Student Registration Page

The release of the Vergil Student Registration Engine includes access to Batch Student Registration tools within the Administration Registration and Class Rosters pages. These functions will only be available to Registrar Admins with a Bulk Student Registration add-on.

This page is a resource for all topics related to Batch Student Registration and contains detailed information on: 

  • How to Create a Batch Add/Drop File
  • Navigating to the Bulk Student Registration tools and points in Vergil

Click to download the Batch Student Registration Templates available below. Please email completed templates or Batch related questions to [email protected] and CC Sheila Serrano. 

Important Notes on Batch Registration Files and Templates: 

  • Batch files can only be processed in a Text File (.txt) format. If you are using the Excel sheet template, please convert it to a .txt file before sharing it with us.
  • Do not combine Batch Add and Drop files or requests into one(1) file as they are processed separately. Two separate files must be submitted for Add and Drop requests.
  • You can include registration requests across multiple terms in one file (e.g., An file can contain registration requests for Spring 2024 and Fall 2025).
