Are UPNs required?

To set up pupil logins, each pupil account should have a Unique Pupil Number (UPN).
We advise using real UPNs whenever possible, as they stay the same over time and allow pupil details in Purple Mash to update correctly each academic year.
If your school cannot share or does not use UPNs (for example, schools outside the U.K.), you can provide another unique identifier, such as a Student ID.
If you do not use UPNs in Purple Mash, this could lead to:
- Creating duplicate pupil accounts
- Updating the wrong pupil’s details
If you have any questions regarding UPNs, or setting up your user accounts, please contact support@2simple.com
