What Is It?
Instructors or department chairs can request to add someone to their Canvas course.
Please note: Students are generally not added manually; instead, they should officially register for the course and the Registrar system will automatically add them to Canvas within a few hours. If you are requesting that a student be added to a course, please indicate in the Role field why they need to be added manually.
