Adding People to a canvas course 

This article will show you how to add people to a canvas course you are teaching on. 

Sometime you will need to add extra people to your course – such as an observer, moderator or someone covering your class when you are away. This page will take you through, step-by-step. 

If you want to know how to add students to your course, you can find that here too. 

How to add other staff to your canvas course 

  1. Open your canvas course and click on people in the menu 
  1. Locate the add people button on the right of the screen 
  1. Enter the email address of the person you want to add 
  1. Select the role of the person – Note: You will not be able to add anyone to your course as a student.  
  1. Hit next and you should receive a confirmation notice. 

How to add students to your course 

  1. Send the student to AskMe! to check they are enrolled on your course. If not, they need to enroll. 
  2. Once they are enrolled on your course by AskMe! they should appear on canvas in 6-12 hours. 

NOTE: You can not enroll students into canvas. Student enrolments come directly from the SMS system.
