Creating Programs

This feature is only available to Overgrad Pro customers. Please connect with an Overgrad rep if you are interested in learning more.

This guide will walk you through how to create and publish a new program in Overgrad, including required and optional fields. Programs can be created by District and High School level Account Managers.

Adding Programs in Bulk

Step 1: Navigate to Data Imports

• From the Profile dropdown menu, click School Account.

• Choose Import Data from the Data Imports section
  

Step 2: Select Import type

• Choose Programs from the list and click Continue 
  

Step 3: Upload your file

• Drag and drop your CSV onto the upload area, or click to browse for a file

Step 4: Match your columns to Program Fields

• Review column mapping.
  Every column in your file is matched to an Overgrad field automatically. Each match carries a confidence label:

  Label	What it means
  Strong match	We're confident — either your district has mapped this column the same way before, or the header and values clearly match a field.
  Weak match	Reasonably confident, but your district has mapped this column differently in the past, or the match is less certain. Worth a glance.
  Needs review	We couldn't confidently suggest a field — map this one yourself.
  Skipped	This column won't be imported.

  Use the filter chips above the table to jump straight to columns that need attention, ignoring strong matches because they pre-accepted and don't require any action.

Step 5: Run Pre-Upload Validation

• If some rows have issues, they're grouped by problem type with a plain-language explanation and a row count per group.
• Fix the issues or skip the row
  

Step 6: Confirm and submit the upload

• The final step summarizes exactly what will happen depending on the data included in your file: what will be created or updated, and how many rows will be skipped.

Individually Adding Programs

Step 1: Navigate to the Programs Page

• From the Search dropdown menu, click Programs.

• The Programs page includes two tabs:

  • Extracurricular: pre-college programs, summer programs, internships, volunteer and extracurricular opportunities.
    

  • Postsecondary: military, apprenticeships, certifications, job readiness, and sector-based job training.

Step 2: Select the Correct Tab

• Choose the tab based on the type of program you want to create (Extracurricular or Postsecondary).

Step 3: Click "Add a Program"

• Click the Add a Program button on the upper right hand corner of the page on the selected tab.

• In this example, we will create a Postsecondary Program

Step 4: Fill Out General Information

• Complete all required fields (marked with a red asterisk  *).

• The more keywords you include in your description, the easier it will be to find the program via text search

Step 5: Add Optional Information (if applicable)

You can enhance your program listing with the following details:

• Eligibility and Requirements

  • Use checkboxes to designate eligibility by things like demographic or grade level.

• Cost

  • Include information about fees, financial aid, and payment options.

• Application

  • Add a link to the application and include a due date.

• Interests

  • Map the program to subjects and career clusters to help students discover relevant opportunities.

Step 6: Save Your Program

• Click the Add Program button at the bottom of the screen.

Your program will now appear on your Postsecondary Programs page.
