Overview
Faculty and Staff have the ability to add or remove any existing user, with the exception of the Student Role. Please note that the Student Role is reserved for those who are officially registered for the course. Students who are not officially registered for the course should be enrolled under the Other Role. To review the D2L Brightspace roles and permissions, click here.
Adding Existing Participants to a Course
From your course homepage, click on Classlist within the Communication drop-down menu.
Click the Add Participants drop-down menu and select Add existing users.
A menu will open allowing you to begin searching for the participant you want to add to the course. Enter the participant's name in the Search For: text field. You can enter in the participant's first or last name. Click the Search icon.
*Note: If you cannot locate the participant you are trying to add, they may not have a D2L Brightspace account or they may already be enrolled in the course. Review the Classlist to ensure the participant is not already in the course. If the participant is not in the Classlist and you still cannot locate them, open a help desk ticket.
Your results will appear.
