Class Roster
Every course includes a class roster that lists the name and email of every student that has enrolled in the course. This includes Active Students (students currently enrolled) and Inactive Students (students who have been dropped or transferred).
Timed quiz accommodations
For each course, you can add timed quiz accommodations to the roster for individual students. These accommodations apply to all of a student's timed quiz assignments.
Preset choices include: untimed, and 1.5x or double the time. There is also the choice to enter another multiplier. All preset and custom time values are multiplicative, not additive.
Drop a student from a course
Students can be added via an LMS or an Invite link but all students must be dropped from a course within the Manage Class Roster page in Courseware or they will remain enrolled.
To drop a student from a Courseware course, go into the course, select the Manage Class Roster option, find the student's name, select Drop Student, and then confirm. The student will be moved from the Active Student list to the Inactive Student list.
- Once dropped from a course, a student's information will be moved to the "Inactive Students" tab.
- The date the student was dropped will appear in the "Status" column.
- Select "Re-add Student" from the "Add Student" column to return a previously dropped student to your class roster (pictured below).
Transfer a student to a different course
A student's grades do not carry over when they are transferred to a new course. To save the student's grades before transferring them, use the export feature in the Gradebook.
Students can be added via an LMS or an Invite link but all students must be transferred from a course within the Manage Class Roster page in Courseware or they will remain enrolled.
To transfer a student to a different Courseware course in your instructor or administrator account:
- Enter the course in which the student is currently enrolled
- Select the Manage Class Roster option, find the student's name, and select Transfer
- From the drop-down menu, select the course
The student will be moved into the Active Student list of the course selected and will appear on the Inactive Student list for the course from which they were transferred.
- The date the student was transferred will appear in the "Status" column.
- Select "Re-add Student" from the "Add Student" column to return a previously transferred student to your class roster (pictured below).
Change Course Owner
Every Courseware course has a primary instructor who is set as the course owner by default. To hand over course ownership and remove yourself from the course:
- Select Change Course Owner
- Select from the names that appear in the dropdown menu
Course Owner can also be changed by the Courseware Administrator role at an Institution.
