clicking either the course title or “Click to enter this course.”
Verify the New User is NOT Enrolled

5. Once you have reached the desired course page, click the gear button at the top right of the
screen. A list of options will appear.

NOTE: The gear button and its associated list of options will not appear if you are not viewing
the course as an Administrator.

6. Click the “More” option with the gear symbol beside it (at the bottom of the list). This will take
you to the administration page for the course.
7. Click the “Users” tab at the top of the page (under “Course administration”).

followed by the list of currently enrolled participants.

Using the A-Z buttons, select the first initial of the new user’s First name and Surname. This will
automatically bring up participants with corresponding initials that are currently enrolled.

10. If/when the participant you are looking for does not appear, you will need to enroll them in the
course manually. Click the “Enroll users” button at either the top or bottom right of the screen.

11. An “Enrollment options” window will appear. In the “Search” dropdown box, begin typing the
name of the user you would like to enroll.
12. Once you see their name appear as a selectable option, verify that it is associated with the
correct email address, and click it to select it.
 13. Set the “Assign role” option to “Student” (if not already set as such).

14. When you have the correct user selected and their correct role assigned, click the “Enroll users”
button at the bottom right of this window.

Your new user should now successfully be enrolled in the desired course. You may exit the Portal by
logging out and/or exiting the browser.
