Enroll People in Your Course
You can add students, faculty, and teaching assistants to your course at any time, as long as the individual you want to add has a PSU ODIN account. Students and instructors are generally added automatically via the Banner registration system.
If you think there is a problem with the automatic registration process in your course, or have any questions about adding people to D2L, please contact the Faculty Support Desk.
Add Participants
- Click on People and then Classlist from the navigation bar in your course.
- Click Add Participants and then Add existing users.
- Scroll down to the Add Existing Users section, and search for the person you want to add.
- Select the checkbox to the left of the user’s name in the search results. Select a Role (see below) and Section.
- Guest faculty and TAs automatically have access to all sections, just pick any section here.
- Click Enroll Selected Users. You should receive a confirmation notice.
NOTE: The most common reason for a user not to appear in the search results is because they are already enrolled in your course. Double check the Classlist.
