The PowerSchool integration is used in conjunction with the Post Grades to SIS feature option. Learn more about available feature options.
Please follow these steps to implement the PowerSchool integration:
- Contact your CSM to set up a Data Mapping Phone Call with a Implementation Consultant.
- If you are using LDAP, SAML, or CAS authentication, make sure your PowerSchool usernames match your usernames in the respective authentication servers. If they do not match or you do not use third party authentication, schedule a meeting with your CSM and an Implementation Consultant for help setting this up.
- Verify that you are using Powerschool version 8.3 or higher.
- Verify that your Powerschool instance runs on a valid, publicly trusted SSL certificate (your PowerSchool url should contain https://). If you don’t have a valid SSL certificate, you must first obtain one.
New customers can be up and running in their test environment within a couple of days. Once implemented, it can take two to three weeks to validate the end-to-end process.
Existing customers take longer because old SIS ID’s need to be re-mapped to match the Powerschool SIS IDs. After you verify the data, Instructure begins the process of moving the data into production. Once implemented, it can take four to six weeks to validate the end-to-end process.
Note: Instructure does not validate the accuracy of your data. You must validate the accuracy of your data. Additionally, Instructure is unable to assist with PowerSchool updates or HTTPS/SSL certification. For assistance, please contact PowerSchool support.
