# Setting up Student Passwords for Online Testing as a District Administrator

There are two ways to set up passwords for all students in a district or at a school. The first is to mass assign a common password to all students at a school. The second involves mass assigning a unique password to students using a CSV file. These processes are available only to district administrators.
