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 to Your Site. If you want to be selective over which sections a user has access to, please follow the steps below.
The more sections in the class the more tedious the process. Note that once multiple sections are selected: the View By: ‘Users’ or ‘Sections’ function becomes visible.
Complete the Above Outlined Steps
Once you have added a user to one section of the course you can then navigate to Course Tools in the course navigation bar and select Course Admin.
Navigate to the Sections Tool
In Course Admin, under the Learning Management heading, select the Sections tool.
Select the Sections you want to enroll the user in
Click the box beside each of the sections you want to enroll the user in and then select Enroll Users at the top of the page.
Find the user in the list and the check the columns for the corresponding sections
Scroll to find the user you want to manage the enrollments for, and then vertically scroll to select the boxes for all of the sections you want the user to have access to. Once complete, select the Save button (vertical scrolling all the way to the left might be necessary to find the Save button again).
