Adding someone to your D2L course site

Question: How do I add an instructor or TA to my course site?

Important: Students who add or drop a course through PAWS are also automatically added or dropped from the corresponding D2L Classlist overnight (excluding holidays). Manually adding or deleting a student via the D2L Classlist will conflict with the overnight update process, yielding unintended consequences.

To add individuals to a D2L course site:

· Click [Classlist] on your navigation bar

· Click on [Add Participants]

· Click on [Add an existing user]

· In the search box, type only the ePanther username (NOTE: if the person doesn't have an ePantherID or you are not sure what it is, search for them by last name)

· Click on [Search]

· In the search results, click to check the box beside the correct person’s name

· Use the dropdown menu to select the desired Role

· Click on [Enroll Selected Users]

Note: You can do a lot more than just enroll people from your Classlist. You can: 

• remove people from your Classlist
• change their role
• view people’s profile pages
• see what items they have accessed in your course site
• send email to individuals or groups
