Adding or Removing Users

Since the integration of the Banner Information System and the Online Learning System, instructors and students who register for and withdraw from courses are automatically added or removed from course sites. Please do not manually add instructors or students to or remove instructors or students from your course. Doing so will cause that person’s account to be disabled for that site. Instead, if an instructor or student needs to be added to a course site, please work with Student Academic Services to add that person to the course in Banner first. You may still manually add people to a course site as a TA if desired.

Adding Teaching Assistants to Your Course Site

1. Log into the Online Learning System.
2. Click on the link to the course for which you need to add a user.
3. Click the Control Panel link.
4. Under User Management, click Enroll User.
5. Enter the user's last name or enter the first part of the user's email address (i.e., jsmith – no @spu.edu). If you choose to search by the user’s email address (also referred to as their username), be sure to click User Name.
   
   
6. Click Search.
7. A list of users will appear who match your search. Click the box next to the user you wish to add.
8. Click Submit. The user now has access to your course site.

Note: Some users may have more than one username in the system because they have changed their S P U email address or were recently assigned an S P U email address. Choose the user’s current username when adding a user. The word invalid next to a username means that username is no longer in use.

Note: There may be multiple pages of names in the case of common names like Smith or Jones. If you do not see the user listed that you need to give access to, contact us so that we may assist you.
