Adding and Changing Users

The rosters of most Blackboard course sites are automatically populated with information provided by the Registrar's Office based on course enrollment. However, in some cases, you may need to manually add a student or other user to your course.

To add a student to your course site (or a participant to an organization site), follow these steps:

1. Log in to Blackboard and enter your course or organization site.
2. Open the Control Panel.
3. On the right side of the screen, under User Management, click Enroll User.
4. Type in the last name, NetID or email of the person to be added in the space provided. Then select the type of information entered (Last Name, Username, or Email) and click Search.
5. From the list that appears, click the check box next to the name of the student or participant you wish to add to the course and click Submit.

The individual will be added to your course in a Student or Participant role. If you want them to act as a Course Builder, Teaching Assistant or Faculty member in the course, with specific access privileges, you must change their user role.

See details about user roles and changing a user role.

Note: When using the Enroll User function, if Blackboard returns the message "No user matching the search criteria was found. Note that users who are already enrolled do not show up in the search results." , that means one of two things.  It either means that the person is already enrolled in your course or organization site and you can find him by using the List/Modify Users function or, for course sites only, that the student dropped the course.  For a student who has dropped the course and for whom you wish to grant access to the site, contact the OIT Help Desk.
