Prepare a Curriculum Cartridge for Import
Last Modified on 09/11/2025 9:19 am CDT
This article provides more information about preparing a curriculum cartridge before importing it into Infinite Campus.
The Import tool will be made available to a select group of beta customers in a future release.
This article was published on April 18, 2024, and updated most recently on September 10 2025.
Size Limits
Cartridges must be under 350MB to be imported. Most cartridges that exceed this limit include large video files.
If your cartridge is over 350MB and includes large video files, Campus recommends storing the videos elsewhere, such as in a private YouTube account, and then linking to the videos from your curriculum.
Folders, Assignments, and Resources
Folders organize curriculum and can include other folders. They are sometimes called Units in other LMSs. All other curriculum is imported as
assignments and resources, which are both individual pieces of curriculum. The only difference between assignments and resources is that assignments can have grading alignments and be scored, while resources cannot.

What to Expect |
How to Prepare |
- Only the content of curriculum is imported; data such as grading (including points, categories, and grading alignments), submissions, and dates are not imported.
- Special characters or emojis are not supported in the names of curriculum.
- Images and descriptions in folders are not supported. This information will be saved as separate resources in the Imported Course Resources folder.
|
- In Campus, names of pieces of curriculum cannot exceed 50 characters. Names that exceed this length will be truncated.
- Imported folders with the same name will have a number added to the name (such as Folder 1, Folder 2, etc).
- Special characters and emojis in the names of curriculum will be replaced with question marks.
|
- Replace special characters emojis in the names of curriculum.
- If desired, revise long names and duplicate names before import.
- Pieces of curriculum that are not located in a folder/module may be renamed with a generic name. Campus recommends putting all curriculum inside a folder/module for best results.

File Attachments
Good to Know |
What to Expect |
How to Prepare |
- Individual files cannot exceed 100MB.
- Do not include the following special characters in attachment names: | . , [ ] { } ( ) ! ; " * ? < > : / \ Tab, LF, CR. Attachments whose names include special characters will not be imported.
|
|
- Campus recommends giving file attachments a logical name that will help you connect the attachment with its associated curriculum later.
|
Images
Good to Know |
What to Expect |
How to Prepare |
- One option for including images in curriculum is to link to images stored externally via a URL. Images added to a resource, assignment, quiz, quiz question, or quiz answer as a URL link will be imported and will appear in the content where they were originally added. In the HTML version of a text editor, linked images will have tags such as <img src="www.exampleurl.com">.
|
- The import process attempts to maintain links between images that were embedded or attached to a resource in the original LMS. If the link cannot be maintained, the image is imported into a separate folder called 'Imported Course Resources', which is created when the cartridge is imported.
|
- Like file attachments, Campus recommends giving image attachments a logical name that will help you connect the attachment with its associated curriculum later.
|
Quizzes
Good to Know |
What to Expect |
How to Prepare |
- Supported question types:
- Multiple Choice (single and multiple response)
- Essay/Short Answer
- Fill in the Blank
- True/False
- All questions must have at least 1 correct answer marked (except Essay/Short Answer).
- Response options should not be left blank.
|
- Questions in an unsupported format will be removed. If all questions in a quiz are removed, an empty quiz is imported.
- Question groups/question banks will be imported as a regular quiz that contains all questions in the bank.
|
- Verify that quizzes in your curriculum contain only questions in supported formats, that all questions have a correct answer, and that all answer options have text.
- Quiz questions with "pop-up" content are not supported, move any content to the question text.
- Quiz instructions are not currently supported. Campus recommends saving the text and copy/pasting it into the quiz after importing.

LTI Links
Good to Know |
What to Expect |
How to Prepare |
- LTI links can be imported.
- When importing, users have the option of removing all LTI links in a cartridge.
- Only 1 LTI vendor is supported per cartridge.
- For Google Drive files, the most successful way to transfer links is to open the file, click Copy Link, and paste the link into the resource.
|
|
- To maintain LTI links in imported content, the district must set up the LTI connection to the vendor before importing the cartridge.
- If using multiple vendors per cartridge, separate curriculum for each LTI vendor into their own folder or course and export each as a separate cartridge.
|
Unsupported Content
Content that is not supported will be removed, but the cartridge will still be imported.
The following content is not supported:
- APIP attachments
- Module Settings
- Course Settings
- Assignment information such as due dates, points possible, groups, categories, and grading alignments.
- Linking a resource or assignment to another, such as a course syllabus linking to assignments. Links are removed. The content of the syllabus may be imported as a resource without the links, and the resource may be given a generic name if it's not included in a folder.
- Quiz questions with "pop-up" content.
- Automated feedback on quiz questions
- Scoring rubrics.
- Announcements. Class communications are imported as discussions.
- Badges. Campus recommends saving any images or text associated with badges in a different format.
Disallowed Content
Some file types cannot be attached to curriculum in Campus. Cartridges containing attachments with disallowed file types will automatically fail to import. Remove these files to import the cartridge. See the Campus Digital Repository article for a list of unsupported file types.
