Having an email address in Xello will help students easily recover their own username and password, and to view notifications. While your school may have uploaded students' school email addresses into the system, it's recommended that a student add their personal email to Xello before graduation. This will allow them to reset their own password and grant them access to Xello once single sign-on (SSO) with their high school is no longer accessible.

If adding a personal email is an assigned task in Completion Standards, the task will be marked as completed once the student has both added their personal email and verified it.

How students add their email

Adding a personal email ensures students maintain access to Xello and their career plans after graduation. To help them through the process, you can share this guide: Add your personal email to Xello (also available in Spanish ).

How students add a personal email address:

1. On any page in Xello, from the top right corner, students click their avatar to open a menu.
2. From the menu, they click Account to open their profile details.
3. In the Personal section, students click the Add email address link to insert their personal email address.
   • A validation email is sent to the newly added address.
4. Once the student validates their personal email address, it becomes the primary address for notifications from Xello.

   • Adding their email address will mark the task on their to-do list as Done. From your educator account, on the student's profile and in reports, the task will be marked as Complete.

Track student emails

Educators can track student emails in two ways, either by running a Completion Standards report to view who has completed the task, or by viewing the student list where you can see the address each student has added.

Completion Standards report

To see how many and which students have added and verified their personal email, you can Run a report on task completion using the Completion Standards reports. This report gives you a high-level view of student progress, showing which students have completed the task, who is still incomplete, and who has been exempted.

If you need to see or download the personal email addresses, you'll use the Student list. From here, you can export the list to an Excel or CVS file.
