I am manually entering students into sections of a blueprint course. I just added them as users in the admin area but when I go to add them as students in the course, the only options to assign are "teacher, TA, designer". Please help!!

Hi @jmurph18,
It sounds like you may be working in the master/parent blueprint course shell, is that right? If so, then I do believe you'll be locked out from adding students there, as it's just means for content/course development. Students should be added to the child course shell(s), which would inherit the content/settings of the parent. I hope this is making some sense to you. If not, please let us know and we can hopefully provide additional clarity or guides to you.

Hi @jmurph18
I'm not sure if your school uses a different nomenclature, but "Blueprint" courses are generally set up as "templates" to design course content that will later be automatically copied over to the "real" courses, where the students are actually enrolled. (See https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-sync-course-content-in-a-blueprint-course-as-an/ta-p/1271 for a little information about the Canvas "blueprint course" functionality).
For that reason, students are not normally enrolled in "Blueprint" courses, and in some schools, permissions are set up so that instructors cannot add students. However, you will probably want to contact the Help Desk at your school with questions about specific settings and permissions on your school's Canvas.

I agree with the comments from both @chriscas and @mzimmerman. As this Guide states in the second light blue box at the top of the page, students cannot be enrolled in Blueprint courses.

Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
We have recently encountered an issue where two students were unable to see the "Take the Quiz" button. These students were taking different exams for different courses within our Testing Center. Both exams required Respondus LockDown Browser and were restricted to specific IP addresses. In both cases, the students were…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
