Please refer to Add a User to Your Site for instructions on adding a user to all sections of your site at once (e.g., lecture and seminar). Below are instructions on how to add a user to specific sections of your site (e.g., just the lecture and one seminar).

An instructor can modify Section enrollment for site members, although official roster changes (e.g. when a student switches seminars) will be automatically synced and an instructor need not make such adjustments.
Certain site members, such as Teaching Assistants, may need to have membership with multiple specific Sections. The process of adding a TA to a site and assigning them to specific Sections is achieved through a combination of the following steps.
Sections are created automatically based off of official enrolment information and refer specifically to the subsections within a course (LAB, SEM, TUT, etc.). This is different from the “S01” designation in the course code. All subsections are automatically added as part of a course site during creation.

Course sites can be merged to bring multiple sections taught by the same instructor together into one site. Sections will remain separate entities with their own students, and most tools, (e.g. Classlist) can be filtered to display the different Section rosters. |
