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).

We imagine these instructions would be particularly useful for adding a Teaching Assistant to specific seminars or labs.

Add a User to Only One Course Section (e.g., seminar, lab)

Navigate to the Classlist tool

Go to the Classlist tool. You can access this through the course navigation bar or through Course Admin.

Select Add Participants > Add Existing Users

On the Classlist page, select the blue Add Participants button and then select from the drop-down menu, Add existing users

Search for the User you Want to Add to the Site

On the Add Existing Users page, in the search bar type the name, username, or email of the person you wish to add to your course. Then hit Enter or select the magnifying glass icon to conduct the search.

There may be multiple Brock users with the same name. Modify the search option filters to narrow the result list. We recommend filtering your search by email or Org Defined ID (Brock IDs) for the best results.

Assign the User a Role and Section

Locate and select the user account on the results list. Be sure to check the box to the left of their name first and then use the drop down arrows in the Role and Section columns to assign the user’s role and roster associations within the site.

  • Role Options: Instructor, Student, Teaching Assistant, Read Only and Student Accessibility Services. Each role has different tool permissions and access.

  • Section Options: Sections are the rosters that are currently associated with your site. If the site has rosters enabled site members must be associated with one.

Click on Enroll Selected Users

Select the blue Enroll Selected Users button at bottom of the page to complete the process of adding a user to one specific section of your course site.

Confirm the Enrollment

On the Confirmation of Enrollment page review the user account, role and section and then select Done.

Add a User to Multiple Course Sections (but not all)

If you want to add a user to all course sections (e.g., lecture and all seminars/labs) please follow the steps in Add a User

Follow the Add a Participant steps found through the link above.

  1. Once the TA has been added to the site go to Course Tools and select the Course Admin option.

  2. In Course Admin, under the Learner Management heading, select “Sections”.

  3. Once in sections, from the vertical list select the appropriate seminars and/or lecture sections.

  4. .  Select the ‘Enrol Users’ search for the ‘User’ and check the boxes under the sections in the horizontal list. 

  5. Click Save over to the far left (scrolling maybe required).

The more sections in the class the more tedious the process. Note that once multiple sections are selected: the View By: ‘Users’ or ‘Sections’ becomes visible.

The only way to have the filter/search option for sections/seminars is to add TAs to more than one section: e.g the lecture and at least one seminar.
