Note: To complete the procedures in this document, you must be assigned a role having the necessary permissions. To determine your role, follow the directions in Participant roles. To view a list of permissions associated with a given role, see Permissions, roles, and tools. For a basic understanding of roles and permissions, see Permissions and roles: Overview.

Adding participants

1. In your site, from the menubar, click Site Setup.
   
   
2. Click Add Participants.
   
   
3. Under "Other Official Participants", enter an Indiana University Network ID or Guest account username, one per line, for each participant.

   Note: To add participants who are not associated with IU, have them first obtain a Guest account via the Account Management Service (AMS). For more information, see At IU, how do I create a Guest account?

4. Under "Participant Roles", choose whether to give all your newly added participants the same role or different roles; for more about roles, see Participant roles. Click Continue.
   
   
5. Choose the roles for the participant(s) you are adding. If you're assigning different roles to participants, use the drop-down list next to each name to select the appropriate role. If you're assigning the same role to all the participants you're adding, use the radio buttons to select the appropriate role. Click Continue.

   Note: Depending on your's site's configuration, roles may vary.

6. On the next page, you have the option to automatically send email to the new participants, notifying them of the site's availability. Select the appropriate radio button, and then click Continue.
   
   
7. Confirm that the information for the participant(s) you're adding is correct, and then click Finish.

Note: Participants you add manually remain joined to your course site, even after nightly roster updates. If a participant you added manually drops the course, that participant will not be automatically removed when the roster updates occur. If you add a participant manually, you must remove that participant manually. You can check whether a manually added student is officially enrolled in your class in OneStart; see In OneStart, how do I view and use class rosters?

Editing participants

1. In your site, from the menubar, click Site Setup.
   
   
2. In the Participant List, you can change a participant's role using the drop-down list under "Role".
   
   
3. Under "Status", you can use the drop-down list to change a participant's status; choose Active or Inactive. An inactive student remains a member of the site, but no longer has access.

   Note: If a participant is still on the official (registrar) class roster, the participant's status will revert to active during the next roster load (i.e., the next morning).

4. Click Update Participants.

Removing participants

1. In your site, from the menubar, click Site Setup.
   
   
2. In the Participant List, under "Remove", check the box next to each participant whom you would like to remove.
   
   
3. Click Update Participants.

   Note: If you remove a participant manually, but that participant is still on the official (registrar) class roster, the participant will be added back into your Oncourse CL site during the next roster load (i.e., the next morning).
