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.

Yesterday, after much trial and error…I concluded the new quizzes matching choice options do not work as I expected, and have used with other LMS. I thought that I could provide students a matching choice quiz with multiple attempts that would report incorrectly answered matches on the first attempt, and display the…
I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
