Adding the "Student" role option

Question

As a "Teacher" on canvas, how am I able to add the "student" or "designer" role if it is not already available in the drop down menu. Attached below is a picture.

The option either comes up blank, or with other roles I do not want to add.

Hello Jasmine,

This is an admin feature that has to be turned on for you in a Teacher Role. I would reach out to your admin at your institution to request for the ability to add Students to that course.
