How do I rename students on my class roster?

Updated

Teachers and coaches can edit how their students’ names are displayed in the Roster tab of their Teacher Dashboard.

Please note:

  • Any changes made will only be visible to you and won’t affect the student’s account details. 
  • Teachers in Khan Academy District Partnerships cannot modify their students' display names. Any name entered manually will be overridden by the name synced from Clever or ClassLink via the district roster.

Follow the below steps to adjust a student’s name: 

  1. Make sure you’re in your Teacher Dashboard. You can get there by clicking on your name in the bottom left corner of the screen and selecting Teacher from the menu.
  2. Click on the "Roster" tab. 
  3. Click on the three dots to the right of the student's name 
  4. Click "Edit display name"
  5. Type in the desired name 
  6. Click "Save display name"
