The Roster lists all the students associated with the course section together with some basic enrollment information (credits/hours, attendance, etc.).

• Students shows those who are registered in the course (including enrolled, auditing, withdrawn, and incomplete students).
• If the course has multiple course names, Students will be further grouped by course name.
• Waiting List shows those waiting to be enrolled in the course if the maximum enrollment number has already been met.
• If this is a cross-listed course, see this article for additional details about adding students.

This article has instructions for how to enroll students on the roster.

Roster basics

Here's a brief overview of the information you'll find on the Roster.

• Click the student's name to go to their course summary, which collects assignment, attendance, and other data about how the student is performing in the course.
• Status shows the students' enrollment status. See below for instructions on how to change a student's status.
• Retake indicates whether this course is counted as a retake on the student's transcript. You can change this after the student is finalized.
• P/F indicates whether the student is taking this course as Pass/Fail.
• Attendance and Grade summarize the student's performance in the course.
• Notes lets you leave general course comments about a student.
• Manage lets you change the student's status, date, and course name/description.

Enrollment status

Auditing, Withdrawn, and Waiting List students are typically managed by the Academic Admin/Registrar. However, if the course's Enrollment setting permits faculty to manage enrollment, then the course faculty will be able handle all enrollment changes up until the course's add-drop date.

Use the Status selector to instantly filter the roster to show students of a particular status (e.g. Withdrawn...).

To change a student's status:

1. In the Manage column, click next to the student's name. If you see , the student is finalized and you cannot change his status.
2. Select the appropriate status from the drop-down.
   • Note the add/drop date when setting a student to Withdrawn. If the student is withdrawn before the add/drop date, he will simply be removed from the course. If he is withdrawn after the add/drop date, he will show a W on his transcript.
   • Click Delete to remove the student from the course; this will also delete all of his assignments, grades, discussion contributions, etc.
3. Edit the date, if necessary.
4. Click Save.

In rare cases, you may need to delete most or all students from a course. Rather than individually deleting them using the above steps, you can use the bulk-delete action:

1. Check the boxes next to the students you wish to delete from the course ( Check All really comes in handy here...).
2. Click Actions and select Delete selected students from roster.

Waiting List

To move students off the Waiting List and into the course, scroll down to the waiting list and follow the above steps.

Roster notes

Roster notes are general comments and notes about individual students. They are visible to Academic Admins, Registrars, and course Faculty and Teaching Assistants. They are not visible to students. These notes will be available to faculty when determining the student's final grade.

To leave a note, click , enter your note, and Save.

Email & export students

Use the Actions button to email your students or export them to spreadsheet or PDF. If any of the students have a verified phone number, you'll also have the option to SMS/text those students.

Everyone

Click Actions and select what you'd like to do:

• Email this section or—for courses with multiple sections— Email all sections.
• Export this section or—for courses with multiple sections— Export all sections; this creates a spreadsheet of the students you're exporting.
• Export roster PDF: This creates a PDF of the entire roster for this section; check if you want to include photos.

Selected students

You can select students from the Roster and Email or Export those you've selected. Here are a couple ways to select different groups of students:

• Simply check the students you want to work with, one by one.
• Use some combination of the Course Name or Status selectors to show only particular students.
• Check individual students or click Check all.

Say you want to email the Auditors in one section of an English course:

1. Select English 202: Creative Writing and Auditors from the drop-downs.
2. Click Check all.
3. Click Actions and select Email selected students

Course names

Each section of a course can have multiple course names and descriptions. This is handy when, for example, you're offering the same Directed Study course to a number of music students, some of whom are learning guitar, others of whom are learning piano. Additional course names will not affect the default course name/description, which is inherited from the course catalog.

Here's how to add or change course names for...

Individual students

1. Click next to the student's name (under the manage column).
2. In the Course name drop-down, select an existing course name (if any) or select New... to create another one.
3. If you select New..., enter the new course name below the drop-down, and an optional course description.
4. Click Save and the student will list under the new course title heading.

Multiple students

1. Click Actions and select Add new course name.
2. Enter the new course name, and then the course description (which is optional).
3. Check off the students to whom you want to add this course name.
4. Click Save and these students will list under the new course title heading.

After you finalize individual students or the course, you can perform additional actions on the Roster...
