You can upload courses from spreadsheets by logging into your educator account following these steps:
- Select School Account from your profile dropdown menu
2. Select Course Planner from the Account Setup section 
3. Click "Upload"
4. Create your course file. There are two ways to create your file:
Generate a course catalog file from your Student Information System: If you are generating a CSV text file by exporting data from your school or district’s Student Information System (PowerSchool, Tyler SIS, Infinite Campus, etc.), follow these steps:
Select the records you would like to export (i.e. all active courses).
Select the fields to include in your export file. You will need the following fields: Title of Course, High School name, Department, Course Rigor, Grade Level, Length, and Credits
Save the file to your hard drive in a comma-separated value (CSV) text format.
Manually prepare a spreadsheet: If you are preparing your text file manually using a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel or Google Docs, follow these steps:
You may download a template CSV from the uploader page or create the file on your own. If you are starting with a blank document, place each field in a separate column. For example, one column could be for the course title, another would be for the course rigor, and another would be for the academic subject.
Place each course in its own row.
Save the file to your hard drive in a comma-separated value (CSV) text format.
Below is an example CSV that shows how the first row contains the headers and each additional row contains the data for one course. The actual file may look different depending on the fields you choose to import.

About Length and Credits
You should have already configured your school/district's settings. In those settings, you will set your Course/Grading terms (semester, trimester, quarters). If you are on semester terms, the course lasts a year long, and the student earns one credit for completing the course, the length = 2 (semesters) and credits = 0.5 (0.5 credits/semester * 2 semesters (length) = 1 annual credit).
