Native Login for Naviance Student

Native Login Reference Guide.docx

Native Login refers to the process by which students, parents, or guardians access Naviance Student by going to their school's URL and entering a username and password. To find your school's Naviance Student URL, navigate to Connections, then select Naviance Student. Locate the URL at the start of the Naviance Student list.

You must activate Naviance Student for students, parents, alumni, and guests to log in successfully.

1. Navigate to Connections and select Naviance Student.
2. Select Activate Website.
3. From Activate Site, select Site is On and click Change Status.

When using native login, you must provide students, parents, and guardians with first-time login credentials.

Provide First-Time Login Credentials

Share the URL for your school's Naviance Student Platform and:

• Provide parents and guardians with a registration code for first-time login.
• Provide students with a registration code or a school-assigned username and temporary password for first-time login.

Before providing students, parents, and guardians with initial login credentials, create their Naviance accounts by importing student and parent data. If you plan to provide students with a username and temporary password for their initial login to Naviance, assign students a username via the import.

Generate Registration Codes

A registration code is a series of 10 letters and numbers that are automatically generated for each student, parent, and guardian when creating a Naviance record. You must activate registration codes before distributing them for use.

If usernames are assigned to students via a student data import, Naviance does not auto-generate registration codes for them.

Students, parents, and guardians register their account on their first login to Naviance Student by entering the registration code and creating a username and password. After creating a username and password, the user's account is considered registered.

When registering for their Naviance Student account, students are prompted to enter an email address which populates or overrides the email address on file in their Naviance account. Provide students with a username and a temporary password instead of a registration code if you want students to log in using a particular email and do not want students to change the email address in their Naviance account.

Activate Registration Codes

1. Navigate to Connections and select Naviance Student.
2. Choose Student Accounts or Parent Accounts.
3. From Step 1 select the grade or class from the list, then click Activate Codes.
4. From Step 2 access the registration codes in one of four ways:
   1. Generate business cards which include each user's unique registration codes and then distribute them.
   2. Use excel csv for mail merge to write and distribute letters that include each user's unique registration code.
   3. Print or download the registration codes and distribute them in person.
   4. Send registration codes using the email tool in Naviance.

5. Repeat this process for each grade level.

   

   If you create additional student or parent accounts after activating registration codes for the class, you can reactivate registration codes for the class without affecting existing registration codes.

Assign Usernames and Generate Temporary Passwords

For initial login to Naviance Student, usernames and temporary passwords can only be assigned to students. You must provide parents and guardians with registration codes.

Assign usernames via a student data import. After student records are created and usernames assigned, generate temporary passwords.

1. Navigate to Connections and select Naviance Student.
2. Select Temporary Passwords.
3. From Step 1, select Students.
4. From Step 2, choose a grade or class from the list.
5. Select Check Temp Password Status to review a list of students that will have passwords generated.

6. Select Generate Temp Passwords.

   

   A temporary password is generated for all students with:

   • A username but no password.
   • A username and a temporary password.

   Temporary passwords expire 45 days after creation and are valid for a single use. You can reset temporary passwords individually or in bulk. Temporary passwords are not generated for students that have a registration code or a permanent password.

7. Download the CSV file with the temporary passwords.
8. Repeat this process for all grade levels.
9. Distribute the usernames and temporary passwords to students.
