This guide details how to add participants to your Canvas course manually. While students are typically enrolled automatically via Banner after registration, there are instances where manual addition is necessary for other roles.
In a Canvas course, individuals in the Teacher and Teaching Assistant (TA) roles are authorized to view and edit student grade information. Librarians, on the other hand, have permission to access the class roster. Those assigned these roles by the instructor of record must first complete FERPA training through ElevatEd.
Automatic vs. Manual Enrollment:
- Students: Automatically enrolled through Banner.
- Observers/Viewer, Undergraduate Support Roles, and additions after course completion: Please contact bighelp@auburn.edu for assistance.
Permissions:
- Teachers and Teaching Assistants (TAs): Authorized to view and edit student grades.
- Librarians: Granted access to the class roster.
- Note: All roles assigned by the instructor of record should complete FERPA training through ElevatEd.
