How do I add students to my class in canvas?
Hi @ShawnBuddington,
Your post title references crosslisting, but the post itself asks about adding students. There would usually be two distinct things, although they are both related to enrollments.
If you're teaching two sections of the same course and want to have one Canvas course shell to teach both sections out of, that would be crosslisting. The How do I cross-list a section in a course as an in... - Instructure Community - 1261 guide covers how to crosslist as an instructor. I will say that in many schools/institutions, this is something that their Canvas team (usually in the eLearning / IT / Digital Education areas) would need to do for you, as the process gets complex when student information systems come in to play, and is therefore restricted to admins only.
Adding users (students, teachers, or others) is also something you may or may not be able to do yourself. If your school/institution has given you the permission, the How do I add users to a course? - Instructure Community - 1119 guide will walk you through the process. I'd say the most common scenario is that your school/institution would handle course enrollments in an automated fashion, but that would be something to ask your Canvas team about as well.
I apologize that I can't give more exact answers as I don't have access to your Canvas account or environment, but I hope this info helps guide you a bit anyways.

Hi, My institution is starting to use Respondus LockDown Browser. My question concerns an exam using the 'New Quizzes' engine that requires the use of LockDown Browser. Assuming that the 'early exit' feature is enabled in the LockDown Browser settings, if a student exits the exam early, will Canvas allow them to re-enter…
Hello, I am using checkpoint discussions. When I see that I have some submissions in my To Do list to grade, I click on it, go into Speedgrader, and now have to search to see which students have posted or not. It used to designate which students had posts to grade so it was easy to just go to those students. Something has…
I'm not sure that this is the right place to post about this, but I was wondering if anyone has a fix for how the scroll bar for the entire page covers the scroll bar for just a document viewed in Canvas. The scroll bar for a document will stay visible until one attempts to interact with it, at which point the bar for the…
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.
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
