How-To Add Participants
1. Login to my.ufl.edu
2. Navigate to Main Menu > UF Campus Solutions > Online Learning > My Canvas Course Management in my.ufl.edu
3. A list of course will be displayed where you have been designated as Teacher in Canvas. Please select a course from the list.
4. Once you select a course, you have several options:
- Select an existing section that contains students enrollments (alpha-numeric)
- Select the INIT section - Used to enroll Teachers, TAs, Observers, Guest Lecturer, Auditor, Facilitator, and Designers
- Select the MISC section - Used to enroll students not on the normal class roll (student making up an incomplete)
5. After selecting a section, the page opens up a box where you can enter (or paste) a list of UFIDs. This is useful if you are organizing work groups for your entire course and are working off of a class roll. After the UFIDs have been entered, select the role you want to assign all of these UFIDs and the enrollment status (add/drop), then press Parse UFIDs.
