Steps to Add Students to Canvas

To add students to your Canvas course, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the People Section:

   • From the Home page of your Canvas course, look for the navigation bar on the left side of the screen.
   • Click on the "People" button. This will take you to the People section of your course.

2. Initiate the Adding Process:

   • Once in the People section, you will find the "Add People" button. Click on this button to begin adding users.

3. Select the User Identification Method:

   • You will be presented with options for adding users.
   • Choose "SIS ID". This method uses the student's unique identifier within the Student Information System.

4. Enter the Student's SIS ID:

   • A text entry box will appear where you need to input the username or SIS ID of the student you wish to add.
   • Type the student's username into the box.

5. Confirm and Add:

   • After entering the student's SIS ID, follow any on-screen prompts to confirm and finalize the addition. The student will then be added to your Canvas course.

Important Note:

• The reference material specifies adding users by "SIS ID". This is usually the most accurate way to add students, as usernames can sometimes change, while a SIS ID is unique and consistent. Ensure you have the correct SIS ID before adding a student.

By following these steps, you can easily add students to your Canvas course.
