Classlist: Import Users from a File

1. Prepare your file. Using Excel, create a list of all users in the following structure:

The first column should be the name.#.
The second column should be the course offering code plus the section code. For a forum, the section code is _1 (underscore one).

You can find the course offering code by clicking Edit Course and then Course Offering Information. It will look something like this: forum_200812345678_123. Copy and paste the whole string into the Excel cell and then add _1. It will look something like this for all users: forum_200812345678_123_1

The third column should be the desired role (see the list of roles). When enrolling people to the student role, use .Student in the field (the dot and the capital letter are necessary).

2. Save your Excel file as a .csv document (a plain text document with a comma separating the values in each column). See a sample .csv file.

3. Go to your Classlist and click Add Participants. Click Import users from a file on your computer.

4. Browse to locate your .csv file and then click the Import button.
