I have created a separate canvas course for an optional project. How do I send an invite to students to join this course?
Thank you
Hi Brent,
If you already have the course created, you can navigate to the People area of the course. You should see a +People button on the right hand side. The easiest way to add them is to copy/paste their e-mail addresses and then make sure in the dropdown you select the student role. Once you add them, this sends the invitation to join the course. Keep in mind that if you have not published the course, they will not receive the invitation until it has been published. If you do not see an option to add people or see the student role, you may not have permissions to add students to your course. In that case, you will have to reach out to the LMS administrator for assistance.
Here's the Canvas guide for adding users to a course: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-users-to-a-course/ta-p/1119
Another possibility is that you may be able to make it a self-enroll course and send students the join code. This depends on whether your admin has enabled this option. Here's some documentation:

Among all the things that I wish Canvas had is that one! Is it something that is been worked on? We had it in Blackboard (legacy) and I sorely miss and need in Canvas (we just transitioned to it from Bb). Please add this very needed feature!
I have Canvas set to drop the lowest quiz score, however, my students can only barely tell that the grade text is slightly grey when dropped. Can it have a tag like the "missing" and "exempt" ones in the student gradebook?
My Canvas shell has three different sections that all meet at different times throughout the week. I need to be able to batch edit assignment due dates by section, but right now Canvas can't filter by section for batch edit. My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
So, we have encountered a few assignments where the Speedgrader presents the teacher with the "Empty Course" page, even though the course is not empty. I have discovered two New Quizzes in the same course where this has occurred, despite multiple students being assigned (at Module level, which passes the permission down to…
