Use the Apple Classes template in Apple School Manager
Use the Apple Classes template to import classes. It must contain the course_id value of each course.
You can assign more than three instructors to a class by adding more instructor columns to this template. You can add up to 12 more instructor columns named instructor_id_4, instructor_id_5, and so on, up to instructor_id_15. For each class, you can optionally enter another person_id value for the instructor. This must match the person_id value used in the Apple Staff template. If this entry doesn’t match, the upload process fails. For more information, see Apple Staff template.
Classes with a manual source continue to sync with your mobile device management (MDM) solution but may no longer appear in the Classroom app. Manual classes can be deleted in Apple School Manager if you want to remove them from syncing.
Important: If a class is removed from the upload, students are removed from the class and the source changes to Manual. If courses were in use in Schoolwork, the class list is removed and a new course must be created for reenrollment. If classes were in use in Schoolwork, progress data is deleted automatically and is no longer available to the instructor or student.
