Thank you - I did recieve a timely reply yesterday and today and wanted to share for others to see:
- I was able to create 25 student accounts. and then I received the message that "you cannot add more than 25"
- I added the created student accounts to the induction selection "cart" and then hit next.
- When it asked "do you want to add more inductees?" I said Yes and it takes you back to an empty induction selction "cart"
- Then I started to create more student accounts without receiving the 25 limit message that stops you from going further.
- Next I added all 57 accounts to the cart and pushed through to check out
I have a new issue now, when I hit submit on the purchase, it loaded for a long time, and never looked as though the order submitted. I returned to the cart area to start over and the students' accounts aren't available anymore and there is a charge pending. So it is submitted in some way!. Fingers crossed I am done doing the clerical work of it all. (thats always the worst part!)

Hi Ashley and Polly, I understand our Membership team has since been able to connect with you about this. The upload feature had to be removed due to functionality issues and we're working on updating the video to reflect that - apologies for the confusion. If you have any further questions feel free to reach back out to members@schooltheatre.org. This time of year is quite busy (as you all know!) but we typically try to respond within a 24-48 hour time frame. Thank you!

I also sent an email about this and haven't received a reply. I have almost 35 students and am in a time crunch to get this processed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bridget I have sent two messages, once before I posted here and a second today but I still haven't heard anything back. Whats odd is I also cannot find the email inmy outboxes and I tried from my school dist org email and my personal email. Can someone here share what you were advised to do? I went ahead and started adding students to the troupe individually but I am also being greeted with the same message Damari recieved. I have 54 this year...

I was in the process of adding inductees one by one into the induction portal. When I reached 25, I received a prompt indicating I cannot induct more than 25 on the portal and should upload a troupe roster. (Wish it would have prompted that at the beginning). Anyways I reviewed the How to induct thespians video and suppossedly there is an upload roster on my snapshot page. I cannot seem to find a link on any page to upload a roster. I don't want to induct the 25 and then incur additional shipping and processing charges again for the remaining 10 students. Can anyone help me find this upload link?
