How to Add Users to a Canvas Course

This guide will demonstrate how to add users to a Canvas course. 

Step by Step:

1. Sign into SPC's instance of Canvas and navigate to the course to add a user.

2. Once inside the Canvas course, click on the Navigation bar on the left and click People. 

3. Next, click the +People icon on the top right of the screen.

 

4. The Email Address radio button should be selected by default. If it is not, select it. 

Type the exact email of the person you want to add to your course. 

Note: This person must have an SPC email address. 

If you need to add more than one person to the course, place a , (comma) in between the email addresses. 

5. Select the role of the person you are adding. 

If you are completing the SPC Growing with Canvas course, please select Instructor. By default, the course you are currently in will be the Section - so you don't have to change anything there. 

Check the box, Can interact with users in their section only and click Next.

6. Confirm that everything you have entered is correct and click Add Users. 

7. You will notice it will say Pending by their name until the person you have added to your course has accepted the invitation.
