    • Select the button that reflects the type of search you want to perform –
      Last Name, Username, or Email

Is that All?
Not quite. You will need to check to be sure that the individual has been assigned the correct role in your course.
  1. From the Control Panel, select List/Modify Users, found under User Management
  2. Search for the individual you just added (see above instructions)
  3. When you find the individual, click the Properties button to view their current role in your course. You may assign them one of the following roles: Course Builder, Grader, Guest, Instructor, Student, or Teaching Assistant. Please see the Based on Role How-To Guide
  4. Click on Submit
  5. You will receive acknowledgement that the user’s information has been updated. Double-check this information to be sure it’s correct
Can I Add a Non-Enrolled User to my Course?
Yes. You do not need to contact Online@UT to add UT-affiliated (non-student) users to your course. As an instructor, you can opt to add teaching assistants, guest instructors, and graders to a course site. It is important to note that you do not need to add formally enrolled student users to your course. Students who are enrolled in your course will be automatically added by the registration system. If an enrolled student user is not showing up in your course within 24 hours of enrollment, please contact Online@UT.
