District Imports

To add data for all schools in your district, import data from your district-level Naviance account. All imports from Naviance for Districts are queued for overnight processing.

If you add two or more of the same import types to the queue, only the last one will process. For example, if you add a student record data file and a parent record data file to the queue, both files will process overnight. If you add two student record data files to the queue, only the last student record data file added to the queue will process overnight.
