How do you accept a pending student into a course? We will not require students to create a canvas account. Would like either instructor or administrator to accept on behalf of student.
You mention that you won't require students to create a Canvas account. In order to accept an invite/be added to a course a student must create an account. Students must also have an account if you want a record of participation or assignment submissions. If you don't want student to create an account, you can make the course public for anyone (including people outside of your organization) to access with a link. How do I customize visibility options for a course... - Instructure Community - 844 (canvaslms.com)
If you require students to create a Canvas account, you can skip the invite by having your admin (edit to clarify- Canvas Admin) upload an enrollment file (SIS Import). They will be added to the course automatically but will still have to login to view Canvas content.
As a teacher, I add students to my course, then they have to log into Canvas and accept the invitation. It is at the top left when they look at their DashBoard.
Hi @JohnJay1 ,
If your institution has purchased a Canvas subscription (i.e. not a Free for Teachers account), then someone at your institution is a Canvas Administrator. A Canvas Administrator can "Act As" a user and accept invitations on their behalf.
In order to invite students to a course, they will need to have Canvas accounts (as @JennyDruckrey mentioned), which requires an email account. In many districts students have email accounts in the background (often a Google account) that they don't actually have access to until they are older (often middle school). So theoretically your institution could create Canvas accounts for your students, invite them to your course, and then accept on their behalf without ever having the students themselves log in or see any Canvas content. Whether any of this is possible in reality depends on what kind of account your institution has and what kind of student accounts you use.
A person's role at your school (instructor vs administrator) is irrelevant; all that matters is what role a person has in Canvas (Teacher, Student, Administrator, Observer, etc.). Only Canvas Administrators can "Act As" other users.

Is there a way for me to create a rubric that shows BOTH points and a letter grade, while the Gradebook in both my view and student view shows JUST points? I tried setting up the rubric showing a letter grade in the grading scheme, and a letter shows in the Assessment box…but then my gradebook also shows the letter grade,…
Our institution is setting up 9 institutional outcomes in Canvas. Several of our outcomes have multiple skill sets within the rubric. For example: Critical Reading – Skill Set A Critical Reading – Skill Set B Critical Reading – Skill Set C Our understanding is that Canvas Outcomes data reports can provide the overall/total…
I am just curiousas to why there is not a field to enter a description for an outcome at the account level? Or at least edit the rating when you attach/link an account level outcome to a rubric. When you create a new criterion for a rubric, you enter a decription for a rating, but for an account level outcome.
We use a pre- post- model to measure learning which requires student-question matching from two time periods. This requires exporting quiz data to CSV to do the analysis properly. (I can get into more detail if needed.) The New Quizzes Student Analysis CSV export has repeated blocks of ItemID then columns related to that…
