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
- In your site, from the menubar, click
Site Setup.
- Click
Add Participants.
- 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?
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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?
