Add Course Section Enrollments

Once users have been added to your course, you may be able to edit their course section from the People page. This feature allows you to make modifications to course sections without having to delete the section enrollment.

If a user has not already accepted the course enrollment, editing the course section still requires the user to accept the course invitation. However, if a user has already accepted the initial course enrollment, editing a section does not require the user to accept a new course invitation.

If a user was added to multiple sections in the course with the same user role, adding a section or editing a current section retains the user role given with the course enrollment. However, if the user has multiple user roles, a section edit is associated with the last user role given to the user. Learn how to edit user roles.

Note:
Adding users to a section is a course permission. If you cannot add users to your course, your institution has restricted this feature.
Sections may be added by your institution's student information system (SIS). If a user in your course includes an SIS ID, you may not have permission to edit sections.

1. In Course Navigation, click the People link.
   
   
2. In the search field, search for the name of the user. You can also filter users by role in the Roles drop-down menu or scroll to find the name.
   
   
3. Beside the user's name, click the options menu icon [1], then select the edit sections link [2].  
   
   
   
   The section(s) where the user is already enrolled will display.  You can also delete sections from here as well.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
4. To add a section, begin typing the name of the section in the text field [1] and click the section when it appears [2]. Note: Users can be in more than one section. You do not need to remove the original section.
