Add Users to Your Course

This article covers how to add users to your course. Note that your students will automatically be enrolled in your course based on their registration status at UP. However, in some cases, it will be necessary to enroll someone manually, for instance, someone who is auditing the course or is acting as a teaching assistant or co-teacher.

Step 1

Navigate to the course you want to add a user to. From the Navigation menu, click Participants.

From the Enroll users selection box, follow these steps:

  1. In the Select users field, type the name or email address of the person you want to add and click on their name when it appears in the dropdown search list (if a user has a common name, email address will be the easiest search method)
  2. A label with the person’s name and email address will appear above the search field
  3. You can repeat steps 1-2 to select more users to add
  4. From the Assign role dropdown list, choose the role you would like to assign to the user(s)
  5. click Enroll selected users and cohorts to finish enrolling users.
