How Students Join a Sign-up List
The students need to follow these simple steps to sign up for a class activity.- Select the course menu item where the instructor posted a Sign-up list.
- Select the “Sign up” link.
- The Sign-up page displays these details:
- Description of the activity if provided by the instructor.
- Availability of places on the list.
- Sign-up period.
- How many students can add their names to a reserve list.
- Names of students who signed up to the list and to the reserve list (if the instructor enabled this option).
- Press the “Sign up now!” button. A confirmation message will be displayed. A few scenarios are possible here:
- List Open
If a student has joined the list with available places, the message will read, “You have been successfully added to the list.” - List Full, Reserve List Open
Once all places on the sign-up list have been filled, the message “List Full” will be displayed. If a waiting list is available and open, a student may be placed on a reserve list. In that case, pressing the “Sign up now!” button will display the following message: “You have been successfully added to the reserve list. If you are later given a place on the full list you will be informed by email.” - List Full, Reserve List Full
If both the sign-up list and reserve lists are full, the following message will be displayed when a student attempts to sign up, “Sorry you could not be added. Both the list and the reserve are already full.” - Sign-up Period Closed
The list may be closed after the sign-up period has passed. In that case the “Sign up now!” button does not appear on the page.
- List Open
