Course sites are accessible to a certain group of people, in most cases. For a course site, one professor is given a “teacher” role and the students on the official class roster are given “student” roles. A couple of notes:
- If a student adds a class with the registrar, they should get access to the linked Canvas site sometime in the mid-morning of the next day
- Ditto when a student will lose access to a Canvas site after dropping the class
- Sometimes you may need to add a student, or a co-teacher, or a TA to your Canvas course site:
Add a person to a Canvas site
- You will need the person’s Rutgers NetID
- to find a person’s NetID, you can ask them or if you’re stuck, ask us (IDT: 856 225 6090 or idt@camden.rutgers.edu)… we are fighting to get a look-up tool accessible from Canvas
- Now, go into your Canvas site and click People from the left-hand menu
- Click on the +People button from the top right of the page
- From Add user by, select “Login ID”
- Enter the NetID in the text box provided (to add multiple people, separate NetIDs with a comma or enter each on a new line)
- Choose the appropriate role (Learn more about different roles and their permissions here)
- If course site has multiple sections, you can limit the new user to a particular sections by clicking on the Section dropdown menu
- Click Next
- Confirm details, then click Add users
