How to add participants to Canvas organizations
print icon

Note: Individuals who are running organization ("org") sites in Canvas will be added as Teachers. Participants will be added as Students.

All options are dependent on the users having an active Canvas account. Students, staff, and faculty are all automatically added to Canvas when they are added to the university's Student Information System (SIS) or human resources system.

Option 1: Add participants manually

  1. Click People on the navigation menu.
    Select People from the organization site sidebar navigation menu
  2. Click the + People button to add people.
    Click the + Add People button on the right side of the People page
  3. Add users by email address or FSUID (Login ID). You can add many users at once by separating the email addresses or FSUIDs by commas. Click Next.
    Choose the Email Address or Login ID radio button and enter the FSU email or FSUID (respectively) for the users you want to add. Separate multiple entries with commas or enter one per line. Role will default to Student. Click Next.
  4. You will see a list of users available to add. Click Add Users. Canvas will automatically send an invitation for the users to join the organization. Participants will see an email invitation and a banner invitation will appear at the top of their Canvas Dashboard homepage.
    Confirmation message that Canvas has found the users you entered with an associated Canvas account. Click Add Users to complete the enrollement and send the invitations.

    Note: Participants are called "students" in Canvas. When you add them manually, they will receive an email invitation asking them to accept. (Users must have Invitation notifications checked in their user settings to receive the invitation. If they do not, they will see the invitation on their dashboard the next time they log into Canvas.) To check to see if a participant has joined, choose People, filter by Student, then see "pending" next to those who have not yet accepted.
    The People page with the filter set to Student. The word pending appears next to students who have not yet accepted the invitation to join the organization site.

Option 2: Invite participants ("students") with a URL join code

To find this URL:

  1. Click Settings on the navigation menu and scroll to the bottom of the page:
    An example of a self-enrollment URL that can be shared with users who have an FSUID to allow them to self-enroll in the organization site.
  2. If you don't see the code, check the box next to the Let students self-enroll... field near the bottom of the Settings options.
    The Settings page with the self-enrollment option checked. This option must be checked to generate the self-enrollment URL code.
  3. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Update Course Details button.
    The Settings page with the Update Course Details button highlighted. Changes to settings only apply after clicking this button.
  4. Click Settings on the navigation menu again and scroll to the bottom to see the URL code.

Option 3: Use Campus Solutions data to batch upload users

If you would like batch enrollments from Campus Solutions data or other data that you maintain, please send your detailed request to ODL Technical Support at [email protected]. We'll follow up if we need any additional details. Your email will automatically generate a ticket in our system and our team will reach out to you as soon as possible.

Note: You cannot create sections in the settings area in your organization site if you wish to use this enrollment option.
