Manually add someone to course in Sakai
The instructions below will show one how to manually add someone (a Claremont Colleges community member) to a course in Sakai.
Below the first set of instructions are instructions to add Community Auditor Guests.
Step:
- Navigate to the 'Site Info' tab in the left-hand side tool menu, then select the 'Add Participants' tab in the central tool menu.
- Use the first box in the 'Add Participants' page to add any student who is a member of the 5C’s or has a registered Claremont Colleges account in the 'username@college' format.
Note:
To find the username for someone from Pomona College, please click here for instructions. For other Claremont Colleges, you may need to ask the person you are adding for their Sakai username. You can also contact ITS at ServiceDesk@pomona.edu.
- Select the 'role' of the participant and click ' Continue '.
Important Note:
'Student' is a maintained role within Claremont Colleges Sakai course sites, with site participants in this role managed by a script based on information from the Registrar’s offices that updates course site membership three times a day. This means that students who are not yet officially registered for the course who are added in a 'Student' role will be deactivated by the script. To prevent this, add any students to your sites in the Auditor role. They will have the exact same level of site access as a registered student. When their membership is updated by the Registrar’s Office, their role will automatically switch over to 'Student'.
- Choose if you would like to send an email notification to the user and click ' Continue '.
- Confirm the participants being added and the roles selected. Click ' Finish '.
Add Community Auditor Guests
- In your Sakai course site, go to: Site Info » Add Participants .
- Put the user's full email address in the BOTTOM box on the screen. Click 'Continue'.
- On the next screen, give them an Auditor role.
- Press Continue twice, then Finish.
Guest users do not use the 'Login' button. They log in by using the Guest Login button on the Sakai main page. If you have Community Auditor Guest Users in your classes, it would be helpful to remind them to use the Guest Login.
