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- Students shows those who are registered in the course (including enrolled, auditing, withdrawn, and incomplete students).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.
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.
- Retake indicates whether this course is counted as a retake on the student's transcript.
- 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
Use the Status selector to instantly filter the roster to show students of a particular status (e.g. Withdrawn...). Faculty have the ability to change a student's status from Enrolled to Incomplete:
- In the Manage column, click next to the student's name. If you see , the student is finalized and you cannot change her status.
- Select the appropriate status from the drop-down.
- Edit the date, if necessary.
- Click Save.
Auditing, Withdrawn, and Waiting List students are typically managed by the Registrar.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.

Roster notes

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:

- Click Check all.

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.
In order to add or change course names, the Enrollment setting (on Course > Info) must be set to allow faculty to edit enrollment for the course.
Individual students

- In the Course name drop-down, select an existing course name (if any) or select New... to create another one.

- Click Save and the student will list under the new course title heading.
Multiple students
