Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Expand the link below to view a list of frequently asked questions about Infinite Campus-supported platforms:
What is a supported platform?
A supported platform is one that:
- Infinite Campus regularly tests during the development cycle.
- Is available within Infinite Campus for support and developers to reproduce problems.
- Authorized support contacts at the district and the Campus Support team can work with.
- Bugs raised against it will be given priority.
Can I get assistance with running Infinite Campus on a platform that is not supported?
If you are running Infinite Campus on an unsupported platform, we cannot guarantee that we will provide any support for it.
How can I get Infinite Campus to be supported on a new or unsupported platform?
Supporting a new platform requires a significant investment of time by Infinite Campus. This investment includes the up-front costs of setting up new testing environments, resources applied to fixing new issues, and ongoing maintenance costs in the future. Therefore, we only support new platforms when there is significant demand for them.
My organization has a standardized operation environment that Infinite Campus does not support. What can I do?
In this situation, you have the following two options:
- Run Campus in the unsupported environment, with the caveats mentioned above.
- Make an exception to your standardized operating environment and set up Campus based on its supported platforms.

Course Registration (Campus Student)
Using the Course Registration tool, students enrolled in any future calendar can select which courses they would like to take. This is just a course request process and does not guarantee placement into a course.
Location: Campus Student > More > Course Registration
Course Registration allows students enrolled in next year's calendar (or any future calendar) to select which courses they would like to take. This is just a course request process; it does not guarantee placement into a course. Parents can also request courses for students using this same process.
- If you do not see the Course Registration after selecting More from the Index, contact your school (Counselor, etc.). They may need to review correct setup has been done and verify you have an enrollment record for a future school year.
- If you do not have access to Campus Student or Campus Parent, contact your school.
- If you do not know where to access Campus Student or Campus Parent, contact your school.
Campus Student Course Registration
Select Enrollment
- After logging in to Campus Student/Campus Parent, select More from the Index. Then select Course Registration. A list of Course Registration Enrollments displays.
- Select the desired enrollment. This is usually the next school year's enrollment (if the current school year is 2018-19 High School and you are currently in Grade 10, the next school year's enrollment is 2019-20 High School where you will be requesting courses for Grade 11).
Enrollment Selection
Note that multiple enrollments may be listed. Perhaps you have an enrollment in one high school in your district, and also take a course at another high school in the district. In this instance, two enrollment options for the same school year are listed.
You are now ready to enter Course Requests. When there are currently no course requests, a screen like the image on the left below displays. If some course requests have been entered, a screen like the image on the right displays.
No Existing Course Requests
Existing Course Requests
Required, Requested and Alternate Courses
- Courses that your counselor added display as Required. Changes to these requests cannot be made (but you can discuss these choices with your counselor).
- Courses you requested display as Requests. These requests can be modified (changed to alternates, removed, etc.)
- Courses you requested as alternates display as Alternates. These requests can be modified (changed to requests, removed, etc.)
- Change a course request to an alternate by selecting it from your list of courses and clicking the Convert to Alternate button,
- Delete a request by clicking the red X from the Search Results or by selecting the course and clicking Delete Request.
When your counselor begins adding courses to student schedules, requested courses and required courses are given a higher priority for placement on your schedule. Alternate course requests are placed when the requested or required courses cannot be placed.
Course Units
The Course Units total indicates how complete your schedule is. In this example, the student has a full schedule when they have requested 72 units.
- The first number (in this example, 18) indicates how many units the students have requested.
- The second number (in this example, 72) indicates how many total units are needed.
Course Units, Completion Value
This number is based on how the school calendar is set up. The color of the progress bar changes depending on the number of units requested, as does the total completion of the circle.
- A complete schedule (100%, top number is the same as bottom number) is green.
- A schedule that is between 67% and 99% completed is yellow.
- A schedule that is between 34% and 66% completed is orange.
- A schedule that is between 0% and 33% completed is red.
Request as many courses as instructed by your counselor. If you cannot request that many courses, work with your counselor to complete the process. If you have a course plan, refer to that when requesting courses.
Request Courses
- Click the Add Course button. A list of courses available for selection displays.

Academic Plan (Campus Student)
Students can view their assigned Academic Program and the courses they have planned to take in each school year using the Academic Plan tool.
The Academic Planner displays the student's assigned Academic Program and the courses the student has planned to take in each school year (represented by grade level). Counselors have a similar view to this that allows them to see your chosen courses and make modifications, if necessary. Based on the assigned Academic Program, students must meet credit requirements, course requirements, test requirements and GPA requirements. The goal is to meet each requirement for each grade level.
Options available in the Academic Plan require preferences to be turned on by your school administrator.
Academic Plan
Select an Academic Program
When first accessing the Academic Planner, select and/or verify an Academic Plan from the dropdown list. Also select the desired Post Grad Location (where you are going to attend college) and your Post Grad Plans. Click the Next button when finished.
Academic Plan Selection
You can search for and add courses using the Course Catalog option, or if you know the course name or course number, you can add the courses directly to your plan.
If the program you selected does not have credit requirements, you won't be able to add information or see your progress. Contact your counselor for assistance.
Things to Know About the Academic Plan

Credit Overflow Assigned
Planning Rules
Principals, counselors and other staff at the school work together to maintain the courses available for students. As part of this setup, they may have added certain rules that determine when students can plan a course for a certain year. These rules are visible when selecting courses from the Course Catalog (see Image 3) and when saving the Academic Planner.
Course Planning Rules Violation
Because of these rules, the courses in the Academic Planner may display differently. The following table provides details on these rules.
| Planning Rule | Course Display | Catalog Search Display | Alerts, Warnings and Errors |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prerequisite | A course displays in red when a student selects a course that has a prerequisite rule but has not previously taken that prerequisite course or has not planned the prerequisite course. | If the prerequisite was met, the course cannot be selected for the same year in which the prerequisite course was taken. But the course can be selected in other years. Both courses remain in the course catalog search results. If the prerequisite was not met, the course cannot be selected and all buttons display in gray (inactive). | If a course is missing its prerequisite(s) on the course plan, the user receive an error when attempting to save. If a student takes the Prerequisite course(s) but does not meet or exceed the credit value to meet the requirement, an alert displays. If a student takes the Prerequisite course(s) but does not meet or exceed the Min GPA Value to meet the requirement, an alert displays. |
| Equivalent | Courses display in red if the user selects more than one course listed as an equivalent. | A student can only take one course in the equivalent rule. If the course and one of its equivalents has already been taken or planned, the course cannot be selected. | N/A |
| Concurrent | Courses display in red if the student hasn't selected a course that meets the concurrent rule. | If a concurrent course is searched but its counterpart has not been requested, the course can be selected. If a concurrent course is searched and its counterpart has been requested, the course can be selected. | If both courses have not been selected in the same year, an alert message displays. If only one of the courses has been selected, an alert message displays. Failure to meet or exceed the credit minimum requirement triggers an Alert message. |
| Prerequisite and Concurrent | A course that is selected on the student's course plan and has a prerequisite or concurrent rule displays in RED on a students course plan screen if they haven't taken or planned to take the course(s) that meet the prerequisite or concurrent rule. | If a prerequisite or concurrent course is not in the course plan, user can search and select the course. If a prerequisite or concurrent course is in the course plan, any remaining prerequisite or concurrent course can be added in any year in the course plan.
| An alert message displays if a course is selected and the user has not selected the other course in a previous year or in the same school year. Failure to meet the minimum credit requirement triggers an alert message. The student must meet or exceed this credit value on their transcript to meet the requirement. Failure to meet or exceed the minimum GPA requirement triggers an alert message. The student must meet or exceed this value to be considered as on-track. |
| Parent Of | Only the Parent Course is available for selection in the Course Plan. The Parent Course credit is a total of all the courses included in the parent/child setup. If there is credit overflow, it displays the total amount of credits as a sum of the parent child courses. | If the parent course is already on the course plan, it displays in gray. | N/A |
| Child Of | Courses marked as Child Of are not available for selection in the Course Plan. | N/A | N/A |

Add Courses from the Course Catalog
Use the Course Catalog to locate courses that would be of interest to you. If you know the name of the course, enter that name in the field, or a partial name. Matching results display. When a course is chosen, a description displays, providing more information about the curriculum of the course, any planning rules set for the course, total number of credits given, course fees (if any), and an option to add that course to the plan.
- Courses can only be added for grade levels that have related credit requirements.
- Courses can only be added if you/your student has not previously taken the course.
- Courses can only be added if it is not currently on the plan.
Course Catalog Searching
If this is the course you'd like to take, click the Add to Grade button. Courses can be added to any future grade level. This places the course on your plan in the indicated grade level for that credit type.
Adding a Course from the Course Catalog Search
Add Courses
- Click in the text box below the number of credits for a certain grade level. Courses meeting that credit type display for selection.
- Choose the desired course(s). When they are added, they display and the number of credits is updated. The credits assigned to a course appear after the course name.
- Add enough credits for future years as needed. When the student has met the number of requirements, the alert that displays for each credit type stating not enough credits are selected disappears.
- Repeat these steps for each credit type. At the end of the process, you should have a clear idea of what courses he will be taking in each grade level.
- Click the Save icon when finished.
Adding Course
Add Alternate Courses to the Plan
Adding alternate courses is done the same way as entering other courses. Enter alternative courses to take in the event the planned courses cannot be scheduled. Alternate courses are placed on the schedule based on the order assigned to the alternate courses.
Use the arrows to move the courses into the desired order. In the example below, if an alternate course is going to be placed, the Wizard attempts to place the course first in the list (3046 AP Environmental Science) before placing the second course in the list (9008 Sports & Entertainment Market).
Alternate Course Planning
Note the following:
- Alternate courses can only be planned for future years. A current year freshman student can only plan alternates for the sophomore, junior and senior years.
- If a course is already planned as a desired course, it cannot be planned as an alternate in the same year it is planned. But it can be added as an alternate in a different year. A student could plan to take a World Affairs course in the junior year, but could add it as an alternate in the sophomore year.
- Courses planned as alternates do not satisfy planning rules. If an alternate course is planned and it violates a planning rule, the course is included in the list of alerts.
- Counselors cannot lock or unlock alternate courses.
- Courses that are part of a compound requirement display in bold.

Campus Student & Campus Parent Setup
The Campus Portal provides parents and student access to student information and school communication. Some of the tools and features available in Campus Student and Campus Parent may require additional setup or may allow schools and/or districts to customize preferences.
Portal Setup (Admin)
All Campus districts can utilize Campus Student and Campus Parent Portals. Schools should only use these portals after proper setup and after data in Campus is accurate.
Each district that uses Campus is provided with Campus Student and Campus Parent Portals. Schools should allow the use of these portal only after data in Campus is accurate. Campus settings should have been verified, addresses should be correct, grades entered, etc.
Accessing the Portal
The Portal can be accessed by parents of enrolled students. Parents will see all children in their household, or students that are related through the Guardian checkbox of the Relationships tool. Students can also be given access to the Portal, but they will only be able to access their own information.
Logging in to Campus Student
Infinite Campus recommends that districts require all Portal users to sign an "Acceptable Use" policy before allowing Portal access. A district may also wish to require that Portal users sign a Web Access Agreement. See the Suggestions for Portal Policies Section at the end of this article for further guidance.
The Portal web address is https://<campus district access>/databasename/portal/<district name>.jsp. Thus, a district with a web application name of ICCampus and a district name of ICCSS would have a portal address of: <https://campus.iccampus.k12.state.us/campus/portal/ICCSS.jsp>.
Assigning Usernames and Passwords Manually
To create a username/password, search for the user and complete the following steps.
Step 1: Search for the User
- Open the Search menu by clicking the magnifying glass icon in the Campus Toolbar.
- Select a search Type of User and enter the Last Name, First Name of the user for whom a username and password will be created. Use Advanced search options below the results list to enter more search criteria if needed.
- Select the desired user from the Search Results by clicking on the person's name. The User Account tool displays.
Step 2: Create a New User Account
- Click New.
- Indicate the Homepage of the account, such as Campus Parent Portal or Campus Student Portal.
- Enter a Username.
- Enter a Password or click Generate Password. If entering the password manually, enter it again in Verify Password.
- Verify that the entered Password is correct by entering it again.
- If the user should be required to set a new password the first time they log in, mark Force Password Change.
- Click Save.
Share the account information with the user to allow them to log in to Campus Parent or Campus Student.
Allow Users to Create Their Own Accounts
Location: Demographics > scroll to Person Identifiers > Person GUID
Allow Campus Parent and Campus Student users to create their own accounts by giving them their Activation Key. This key is the person's GUID (Global Unique Identifier) which is the ID used to identify them in the Campus database.
This GUID is visible on the Demographics and Summary tools.
To facilitate the distribution of GUIDs, follow the instructions below to create a report in the Ad hoc Filter Designer to pull users' first and last names and their GUIDs. This information can be distributed to users after they have returned the district's Acceptable Use policy.
Step 1: Create an Ad hoc Filter Report for Contact (guardian) GUIDs
Tool Search: Filter Designer
- Select the Filter Type of Query Wizard and the Data Type of Student.
- Click the Create button.
- Enter a name for this report in the Query Name field.
- Select the following fields (more options can be chosen, but only these are necessary):
- Student.firstName (Student > Demographics > firstName)
- Student.lastName (Student > Demographics > lastName)
- Student.grade (optional) (Student > Learner > Active Enrollment > Core Elements > Grade
- Student.stateID (optional) (Student > Demographics > Identity History > State ID History > stateID
- Contacts.lastName (Student > Census > Household Contact Summary > lastName)
- Contacts.firstName (Student > Census > Household Contact Summary > firstName)
- Contacts.contactGUID (Student > Census > Household Contact Summary > contactGUID)
- Contacts.guardian Student > Census > Household Contact Summary > guardian)
- contact.addressLine1 (Sort set to 1) (Student > Census > Household Contact Summary > addressLine1)
- contact.addressLine2 (Sort set to 2) (Student > Census > Household Contact Summary > addressLine2)
- contact.mailing (Student > Census > Household Contact Summary > Mailing)
- Click the Next button. A Filter the Data filter screen displays. Set the following parameters:
- Contacts.guardian = Operator is '= TRUE
- Contact.mailing = Operator is = 1
- Click the Next button. A Format output screen displays. Set the following parameters:
- contact.addressLine1
- Sort is 1
- Direction is Ascend
- contact.addressLine2
- Sort is 2
- Direction is Ascend
- contact.addressLine1
- Click the Next button.
- Click the Save & Test button. This will generate an HTML view of the filter.
- If the information shown is correct, click the Save icon. This will save the report for later selection.
As this query is written, data will be returned for every person in the district. Users may want to filter down to the parent/guardian level to only list parents.
Step 2: Generate an Ad hoc Filter Report for GUIDs
Tool Search: Data Export
- Select the Filter designed in the previous step from the Saved Filters list.
- Select the Pick an Export Format option.
- Click Export. This report can now be used to distribute GUIDs to potential portal users.
Using the GUID/Activation Key to Create Usernames and Passwords
The Activation Key is only needed the first time the user accesses the Portal. Upon logging in, the user will be required to establish a username and password for subsequent logins.
First Time Account Creation
- On the Login page, click New User?
- Enter an Activation Key and click Submit to activate the account. The Activation Key will be verified, and when approved, a screen will prompt the user to create a username and password.
Username and Password Creation
- Enter a Username. Use an alphanumeric (both letters and numbers) username.
Enter a Password. Use an alphanumeric password. Passwords should be at least 6 characters and considered a strong password.
Complex, tricky passwords are not always strong passwords and can be difficult to remember. For example, TheBr0wnC@t is a stronger password than !@#$%&() because TheBr0wnC@t uses a combination of character types and is long, whereas !@#$%&() uses only symbols and is short. A computer program can crack !@#$%^&() easier than it can crack TheBr0wnC@t.
When creating a password, consider the following:
- Content - Use a short two or three word sentence as your password.
- Length - Make your passwords long (8-10 characters is usually sufficient).
- Combination - Include letters, punctuation, symbols and numbers.
- Uniqueness - Do not use your username or words found in the dictionary.
- Re-enter the password in the Verify Password field.
- Click the Create Account button.
This action will create the username and password. The username and password will be verified, and upon approval, the portal account will be created. Use Click Here link on the account creation page to enter the username and password to access the Portal information. The new account is given a home page of Campus Parent, unless the user has a current or future enrollment, in which case the home page is Campus Student.
Importing User Accounts and Sending Portal Account Messages/Letters
For detailed information on importing user accounts and sending user account messages and letters, see the Batch and Import Wizards article.
Portal Considerations
Before completing the necessary steps to give parents access to records contained in Infinite Campus, there are some key discussions that need to occur with faculty and staff to outline the internal school policies and procedures.
Attendance
Parents can see absences and tardies the moment the teacher or attendance clerk saves an attendance entry. Therefore, an attendance timeframe should be set, such as the first ten minutes of class. Teachers should feel comfortable taking attendance in that time. This attendance timeframe and other related attendance policies should be communicated to parents in the initial Portal letter or by some other means.
Because parents can see attendance information immediately, teachers and attendance staff should develop a level of proficiency in taking and managing attendance information before allowing attendance to appear in the Portal.
Grading
As with attendance information, parents can see available Grade Book information, such as scores and comments, as soon as they are saved. Parents can see assignments as they are created, including blank scores for assignments that have not yet been graded. This can cause concern about missing work and pressure on the teachers to enter scores quickly. School should establish a grading deadline (turnaround time) for assignments to be graded and entered in Campus. Some schools give a two week deadline to teachers to grade and record scores. This policy should also be communicated to parents.
Teachers have the option to hide assignments and scores from the Portal, but hidden assignments are still included as part of grade calculations. Teachers should be reminded of the impact of hiding assignments and how to use this option properly, such as hiding assignments that have been created in Campus but not yet assigned or collected.
Report
Parents can pull unofficial transcripts from Campus. Some instruction should be provided to them so they can correctly interpret these documents.
A school will need to take certain data security and integrity measures to differentiate an official transcript from an unofficial one.
User Support
Schools will need to decide what qualifications need to be met for individuals to receive registration keys and access to student information, such as guardian status and identity. Another issue is the availability of staff members to provide registration keys and direction. Many schools implementing the Portal choose to operate tables of booths at school events as a medium for distributing information to parents. Events such as back to school nights, open houses and parent/teacher conferences present convenient opportunities to interact with many parents.
Schools also need to establish policies and procedures for handling user support and data-related questions. Staff may need to address forgotten passwords and locked accounts and serve as a liaison between parents and the system administrator.
The Campus Student Portal and Campus Parent Portal articles provide additional information about the tools available.
Suggestions for Portal Policies
Districts may wish to specify the following in parent/student Portal policies:
- Qualifications for parental rights concerning who is allowed access to students' information, which usually includes guardians.
- That districts agree to provide free and accurate (to the best of their ability) information meeting the agreed-upon standards based on parents' compliance with security requirements.
- Information accuracy as a shared responsibility among schools, parents/guardians and students.
- That districts maintain the right to add, modify or delete information and *Portal functions at any time, as well as the right to deny parents access with suitable cause.
- Timeframes concerning when attendance and grade information will be made available.
- Qualifications that must be met by usernames and passwords, such as character length and password strength. It is often a good idea to specifically prohibit users from setting their computer to automatically sign in. Some districts choose to set a lower number of unsuccessful logins necessary to disable the user account. Districts usually require that parents have their own individual accounts rather than household accounts.
- System requirements as well as a way for users to receive technical support, including how to unlock accounts.
- That use of the Portal is subject to electronic monitoring by the district, as well as other specific rights the district maintains.

Display Options
The Display Options tool allows schools to create Display Options Templates that are used to determine which features and tools appear in Campus Student and Parent Portals.
Tool Search: Display Options
The Portal Display Options allow schools to determine which tools and data are available in the Campus Student and Campus Parent Portals. This tool is scoped to the school selected in the Campus toolbar.
Options are managed by creating templates and assigning calendars (and schedule structures) to that template. This tool also contains Batch Edit options to simplify updating multiple templates or schools.
Portal Display OptionsUnderstand the Portal Display Options Tool
The primary view of the Portal Display Options tool lists the Templates created for the school and the Calendar(s) assigned to each template. Click the name of the template or calendar to view more information.
For each template, a Status and, if applicable, which terms are enabled are displayed. The status indicates whether portal data is enabled for the calendar assigned to the template.
Use the filter options above the table to filter the list by calendars in the Previous, Active, and Future school years or by calendar status.
| The Active year is the School Year currently marked as Active in the School Year Setup tool. |
What does 'Enabled' mean?
If a Calendar (Schedule Structure) is enabled, data is available on the Campus Student and Campus Parent Portals for that calendar. The available data is determined by the display options marked in the template to which the calendar is assigned.
If a Term is enabled, Assignment, Attendance, Grades, and Schedule data for that term are available, depending on which display options are enabled.
Which calendars can be enabled?
Calendars can be enabled if they are for the current, active school year, the prior (previous) school year, or the next (future) school year.
Calendars from the previous school year can be enabled for only 90 days from the Calendar End Date. This is done by extending the enabled status of the calendar. See the Calendar & Term Settings section below for information about enabling previous calendars.
For enabled calendars in the active and previous school years, the data available on the Portals is determined by the Display Options selected. For calendars in the future school year, only the Display Options for Academic Plan, Course Registration, Documents, and Schedule tools are applicable. All other data is hidden from enabled calendars in future school years.
Questions? Check out the Portal Preferences FAQ article.

Previous Version
The Portal Display Options tool allows schools to create Display Options Templates that are used to determine which features and tools appear in Campus Student and Parent Portals. In this video you will learn to create and use Display Options to determine which tools are available to parents and students.
Batch Edit Display Options
From Display Options, users can make mass updates to Display Options templates and calendar and term settings using Batch Edit options.
Location: Display Options > click Batch Edit
The Batch Edits options in the Display Options tool enable making mass updates to Display Options templates, and calendar and term settings. There are three types of batch tools available:
| Copy Template | Edit Templates | Edit Calendar and Term Settings |
| Click the Copy Template option to copy the source template's display options, either to a new template at the destination school, or by overwriting the options in existing template(s). | Click the Edit Templates option to make edits to the Display Options for multiple templates en masse. | Click the Edit Calendar and Term Settings option to update those settings for multiple schools en masse, which include the template assigned, whether access to a calendar has been enabled or extended, and when terms are enabled. |
Select a Batch Edit option to copy a template or update templates or settings en masse.
Questions? Check out the Portal Preferences FAQ article.
Copy Template
Use the Copy Template option to copy a template in the source school to the destination school(s). The copied template can be added to the destination school(s) either as a new template, or replacing an existing template.
In the example portrayed below, I'm copying a template I've made in one elementary school to all elementary schools in the district, to save time setting up each school's template.
| Click to enlarge | ||
Step 1 | First, select the Source School and Source Template that will be copied. Click View to see the display options and settings of the selected template. |  |
Step 2 | Next, indicate if the copied template should be added as a New template in the destination school(s) or if it should Update an existing template. Note: Updating an existing template overwrites the current options selected, except the name and description. |  |
Step 3 | In the third screen, select the Destination school(s) that will receive the copied template. Filter the list of schools using the text field at the top, if desired. Enter a Name for each template, and a Description if desired. Or, use the fill options for Name and/or Description. The Fill dropdown includes options to append or prepend the template with the school name. In this example, I am copying the calendar from Arthur Elementary to all my other elementary schools, so I filter the list by only elementary schools, select all of them using the checkbox in the header, and then unmark Arthur, since that school is the source of the template I'm copying. I then filled the Template Name fields with the name Summer School and prepend with each school's name. |  |
Step 4 | Prior to copying the templates, review your changes. Click Create if creating new templates, or Update if updating existing ones. Remember, updating a template overwrites it's options with those selected in the source template. |  |
Step 5 | Once templates have been created or updated, the results screen displays, summarizing the templates created or updated. Click Repeat to return to the beginning of the Edit process. |  |
Edit Templates
Use the Edit Templates option to update the Display Options selected for multiple templates at once.
In the example portrayed below, I'm enabling Posted Grades and Term GPA for high schools in my district, now that the Grading Window has been closed at the end of the term.
| Click to enlarge | ||
Step 1 | In the first step, select which templates to update, which are grouped by school. Filter templates by school name or template name using the search bars at the top. Click Next to continue. |  |
Step 2 | Next, select which tools should be updated. Specific display options for the selected tools display in the next step. |  |
Step 3 | In step 3, update specific display options using the Student and Parent dropdown lists for each option. Tip: When disabling a tool, only the main tool needs to be set to Disabled, the sub-options can remain unchanged. Their status will be remembered the next time the tool is enabled. In this example, the Grades tool is already enabled, so I leave the tool setting unchanged and update the Posted Grades and Term GPA options to be Enabled. |  |
Step 4 | Before updating templates, carefully review your changes in step 4. The templates that will be updated are listed at the top, followed by the individual changes. |  |
Step 5 | Once the update is complete, a results screen displays which summarizes all of the changes. Click Repeat to return to the beginning of the Edit process. |  |
Edit Calendar and Term Settings
Use the Edit Calendar and Term Settings option to modify the calendar and term settings in the Display Options tool for multiple schools en masse. This could include:
- Modifying the Template selected for a calendar.
- Enabling a calendar or extending access to a calendar's data
- Modify when terms are enabled.
In the example portrayed below, I'm extending access to data in the regular school year calendar beyond the end date of those calendars for high schools in my district. This action allows data from the previous school year to remain available in Campus Student and Campus Parent into the summer school calendar of the new school year.
| Click to enlarge | ||
Step 1 | On the first screen, select which calendar to update. Calendars are grouped by school; filter the list of calendar by school name or by the calendar's template using the filter fields at the top. Calendars can also be filtered by whether the school year is the active, previous, or future year or by whether the calendar is currently enabled. |  |
Step 2 | Next, modify any calendar settings for each selected calendar. See the Calendar Settings section of the Display Options article for more information about these settings. Options include:
In this example, I'm extending access to calendar data 30 days into the next calendar. |  |
Step 3 | In step 3, enable or disable terms that are not already automatically enabled based on the Terms Settings. Note: If a term is enabled automatically, it cannot be disabled. |  |
Step 4 | Finally, preview changes before updating settings. Changes display in bold text, as shown in this example. Click Update to apply changes. |  |
Step 5 | Once the update is complete, a results screen displays which summarizes all of the changes. Click Repeat to return to the beginning of the Edit process. |  |
Template Fill Options
The Fill Options button in the Template column opens a side panel with advanced fill options
These fill options are most effective when a district using a consistent naming convention for their templates.
To use this advanced fill option, select a parameter for the fill in the Fill Templates with Name dropdown list: Contains, Starts With, Ends With, or Equals. Then enter the template name or part of the name as the Value. Indicate in the Fill dropdown list if the fill template logic should apply to all calendars or just those that do not currently have a template assigned.
| Summer School Fill Scenario: First, I create a summer school template at one school. Then, I use the Copy Templates option to copy that template to all of my schools that have a summer school calendar, giving the templates names that match their schools, such as Harrison Summer School, Monroe Summer School, etc. Once the template is copied, I can update each of the copies based on that school's needs. Next, I use the the Edit Calendar and Term Settings option. In Step 1, I select all of the summer school calendars in my district. In Step 2, I click this Fill Options button, select Contains and enter a value of Summer School. When I click Fill, each calendar is filled with it's corresponding Summer School template. |
| Grading Window Fill Scenario: First, I create a template based on what I want available to parents and students while the grading window is open, and then copy that template to all of my high schools, leaving the name as Grading Window for all. Then use Edit and Calendar Term Settings and click Fill Options in Step 2. Then, I select Equals and enter a Value of Grading Window. When I click Fill, all of the templates populate with this Grading Window template. |

Enable Push Notifications
When Push Notifications are enabled, Campus Student and Campus Parent users who have subscribed to notifications will receive push notifications informing them of changes to student data available in the mobile portal.
PATH: System Administration > Portal > Preferences > Mobile
The Mobile tab enables push notification at the district level for use with the Campus Student Portal and Campus Parent Portal. When enabled, users receive notifications about the following student data updates:
- Assignments
- Grades
- Attendance records
- Lunch Balance (for FS enabled districts)
- Responsive Schedule
Mobile Portal Notifications
Enabling Push Notification
- Mark the Enable Push Notifications checkbox.

Notification Logic
Notifications are triggered by Campus user actions, such as recording attendance or scoring an assignment. Students and parents enable specific types of notifications and can set thresholds, such as only sending a food service notification when the student's balance falls below a certain dollar amount. Users of the Campus Student and Campus Parent apps must also select Stay Logged In when logging in to receive notifications.
Notifications are only delivered for Active Year calendars. The tools associated must also be enabled in the Display Options; for example, the Attendance tool must be enabled for students and parents to receive notifications.
Notification functionality is not guaranteed by Apple or Google.
Districts may need to allow access to cmq.infinitecampus.com on Port 5671 on their firewall to let notification messages out from their district.
Mobile Portal Supported Platforms
See the Supported Platforms article for up-to-date information about which supported mobile operating systems.
Self Service Options
The Portal Self Service Options allow districts to display and allow updates to Census data for users of Campus Parent and Campus Student.
Tool Search: Self Service Options
The Portal Self Service options allow districts to display and allow updates to Census data for users of Campus Parent and Campus Student. Information can be selected at a granular level allowing districts to choose what information can be viewed and what information can be updated. Districts are able to review all update requests submitted prior to updating the database.
Portal Self Service
Campus Student users (usually enrolled students) are not able to request changes to their data unless they are emancipated and their own guardian.
Student Demographic information, Household Contact information, Phone and Addresses can be viewed and modified for individuals marked as the student's guardian. The guardian does not need to reside in the student's primary or secondary household.
Staff who have students in the district are allowed to view and edit information, as defined in the above table. Staff who do not have students in the district should use My Data to request changes to demographic, household and contact information.
Note the following:
- Self Service options are District-wide.
- Users have to determine which items to display and which items to allow for change requests.
Districts can choose to allow parents/guardians to request updates to Census information via Campus Student and Campus Parent. Submitted update requests are then reviewed by an authorized staff person using the Portal Request Processor, and each request can be approved or denied individually.
Like Portal Display Options, selected Self Service options determine what data can be requested for modification. Options can be turned on for student data, household data and family data.
Set Self Service Options
- Select the desired settings for each of the areas available for update options within Campus Student/Parent.
- Click the Save icon when finished. Self Service options are saved, and Campus Parent users can update information as needed.
Review the following information for explanation of the available options.

Languages and Translations Setup
Districts can manage the language and translations available in the Campus Student and Campus Parent portals using the Languages and Translations tools.
Languages: Administrators can add new languages for Campus Parent and Campus Student using the Languages tool.
Classic View: System Administration > Data Utilities > Languages/Translations > Languages
Search Terms: Translation Language
The Languages editor allows users to add languages and assign a language code to them. Once a language is added here, translations can be assigned for fields that display in Campus Parent and Campus Student.
The four languages into which the Campus Portal is currently translated are available: English, Spanish, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese. Any language can be added, modified or removed, except English. When the English language is selected, it is in gray text, indicating modifications to it cannot be made.
After you add a language, you can associate Translations with the language.
Add a Language
- Click the New Language button. A Language Detail editor displays.
- Enter the name of the language in the Name field.
- Enter the name of the language in that language in the Display Name field. For example, if the language is French, the Display Name is Francais. Or, if the language is Spanish, the Display Name is Espanol.
- Select the language Code from the dropdown list. Search through the list of languages, or begin typing to have matching languages display.
Click here to expand...
- Click the Save Language button when finished. The new language displays in the Language Editor.
Delete a Language
Any language listed here can be deleted, except English. Click the Delete Language button to delete a language. A warning message displays asking you to verify this is the intended action. Click OK to continue, or Cancel to leave the language and not delete it.
If translations exist for the language, the language cannot be deleted and a security error displays. Remove the translations that exist for that language on the Translations tool, and then delete the language.
The Language tool allows administrators to add new languages that will be translated in Campus Parent and Campus Student. This video demonstrates how to add new translation languages.
Translations: The Translations tool allows administrators to enter a language translation for individual fields within a specific tool or application.
Tool Search: Translation Setup
The Translations tool allows you to enter a language translation for individual fields within a specific tool (module) or application. Once a language is created, translations are entered for field names, and the language is activated, users can select this language from a dropdown list at the bottom of the Campus login page. Once the language is selected, fields are translated from English to the selected language.
At this time, translations can only be entered for Campus Parent/Student.
Translation Setup
Translations are organized by tool/application, then the language, then all of the available pages within that tool/application, and then the fields on that page.
In the image below, the Assessment page is selected in the Application list for the Spanish translation. All of the fields displayed on the Assessment page appear within the Key column and the English Text column indicates how they are displayed in English on the page. Next to each field is a Translation box where you can enter the language translation of the English Text next to it. Once translations are entered and saved for these fields, the English fields will translate to the values entered when the user selects the language on the Campus login screen or within the app.
In the image below, Spanish translations are entered for each field within the Assessments tool (Evaluación). The Campus Portal user selected to translate the app into Spanish and the screen was updated to display these fields in that language.
An example of the Calendar in Translation Setup and Campus Student
Considerations for Translations
- OS Limitations. Certain operating systems are not set up to handle certain character sets. For example, Windows 7 does not display Burmese (Myanmar) characters.
- Context. An English word or phrase may be translated many different ways depending on how it is used.
- Length limitations. There are occasions where very long words (for example, native German or native Hawaiian words) extend beyond the boundaries of the left navigation pane on the Portal. To correct this, manually add a space-hyphen break in the word so auto-wrapping is in effect in the menus.
- File Encodings. Encode CSV files to use UTF-8. Other encodings do not work properly.
- Excel files. Excel cannot be used to save CSV files. Excel recognizes some UTF-8 files, but it cannot be used to save files with UTF-8 encoding. CSV files saved in Excel may not load properly. Instead, consider using Google Sheets, or any other editor that does not change the encoding of a file.
Enter Translations
- Select the page of the module/application for which to enter translations.
A Translations editor displays. On the left is the Key, or what field is being translation. The middle Translation field is where the word is entered in the selected language. On the right is the English Text. - Enter the translation for the field in the Translation field. If a translation field isn't available for a field, the English text displays.
- Click Save when finished.
In the example below, the tool names in the Campus Parent app navigation bar are translated into Chinese.
Navigation Bar Translated to Chinese
Activate a Language
When a language is added on the Languages tab, it is inactive. After the translations are entered for a language, it needs to be activated. Once activated, users can select it as an option.
New core fields added to the portal are the responsibility of the district to add their own translations in order for these new fields to have the translations needed in the existing languages.
To make a translation available for users, mark the Active checkbox (see image below). In the example below, Simplified Chinese is marked Active for the Campus Parent app and thus, is available for selection by the user.
Activating a Language Translation
Download Translations
When a language is selected, a Download Translation editor becomes available. Users can download all translations or just missing translation for all fields in the module/application into a CSV format. This can be populated in-house with the needed translations, or sent to a translation service. Once translations are complete, they can then be uploaded back into Campus.
Download Translation Editor
- Determine whether all fields in the module/application should be downloaded into the spreadsheet, or just the fields that are missing translations. Choose the appropriate radio button for All Translations or Missing Translations.
- Click the Download button. The CSV spreadsheet downloads as other downloads would.
- Save the newly downloaded file and enter the translations or send it to your third party translator.
The CSV spreadsheet includes the selected Language Code, the label, the application from which the fields are being downloaded, the English Text that displays and the Translated Text.
CSV Download
Upload Translations
When the downloaded spreadsheet has been populated with translations, use the Upload Translations functionality to upload the file and add the translations to the Campus database. You can also upload a shared file that was available on the Campus Community Forums.
Upload Translations Editor
- Click the Choose File button to locate the file to upload.
