Jan 15, 2016 Canvas enrollments.csv and addsisstickiness I have an enrollments.csv file for Instructure’s Canvas LMS, and I want all of the enrollments in it to “stick”–that is, to survive a batch mode SIS. Use your Student Information System (SIS) to create and update user accounts. To learn more, See Universal Connector. For users not in your SIS, such as coaches, administrative personnel, and guidance counselors, you can manually create individual accounts.
At Indiana University, the WeBWorK online homework tool for math and science is available for use as an external tool in Canvas courses.
How Do I Add A User To My Account
Add WeBWorK to your Canvas course via the Assignments tool:
Log into Canvas, and navigate to your course.
In the left navigation menu, select Assignments.
Near the top of the screen, click + Assignment.
Use the 'Submission Type' drop-down to select External Tool, and then click Find.
In the 'Configure External Tool' window, scroll down, and then select WeBWorK.
The 'URL' field will populate automatically with a WeBWorK URL that includes your course's SIS ID in the following format:
Confirm that the SIS ID in the URL is the correct one for your course. If you are not sure, the course SIS ID is listed in Settings on the Course Details tab (for example, FA18-BL-MATH-M118-1234).
Click to check the 'Load in new tab' checkbox, and then click Select.
If you are ready to publish your assignment, click Save and Publish. If you want to create a draft assignment and publish it later, click Save.
If you plan on cross-listing your courses, UITS highly recommends that you do so before you assign any homework sets within WeBWorK. See Cross-list Canvas classes.
WeBWorK assignments and the Canvas Gradebook
WeBWorK automatically passes grades to the Canvas Gradebook for all work completed in WeBWorK. Alternatively, instructors can manually import WeBWorK grades into the Canvas Gradebook.
Automatic grade pass-back
All WeBWorK assignments are combined into one total grade in WeBWorK. This grade is based on a 100-point scale, and this is what appears in the Canvas Gradebook.
Students access WeBWorK from WeBWorK assignments in Canvas. The Canvas assignment created for accessing WeBWorK will hold the total grade in the Canvas Gradebook. If the grade for the assignment in the Canvas Gradebook is blank, it means the student did not yet access WeBWorK.
Grades in Canvas are calculated based on assignments that are submitted or closed in WeBWorK. Whenever an assignment is submitted, it is added to the total grade in Canvas. Whenever a previously open assignment is closed, it is added to the total grade in Canvas, whether the student submitted the assignment or not. Open assignments that are not submitted and any future assignments that are not yet available to students are not added to the total grade in Canvas.
Manually import WeBWorK grades
UITS recommends muting the Canvas integration assignment when you use this option.
To manually import WeBWorK grades into the Canvas Gradebook:
Log into Canvas, and navigate to your course.
On the left, click Assignments.
Click an assignment that's linked to WeBWorK (see above). You'll be redirected to WeBWorK.
On the main menu, under 'Instructor Tools', choose Scoring Tools.
Click to select the assignment grades you want to export and drag them into the list of selected sets.
Click Score selected sets and save to and, optionally edit the name of the export file.
On the main menu, under 'Instructor Tools', choose File Manager, and then, from the drop-down list, select the name of the course from which you are exporting grades.
Double-click Scoring.
You will see the CSV export file you saved in step 4. Select the file, and then, from the menu on the right, select Download.
For instructions on properly formatting the CSV export file and uploading it to the Canvas Gradebook, see How do I upload changes to the Gradebook?
Adjust your email preferences
Students may submit questions about particular problems within a homework set. By default, these questions are emailed to the course's instructor, though you may specify a different role-based recipient (for example, TA) or email address. You may also disable the ability for students to submit questions via email.
Send student questions to TAs
If you would like your teaching assistants to receive these email questions, you can specify this preference, although you'll still get a copy of all the messages. To do this:
Log into Canvas, and navigate to your course.
On the left, click Assignments.
Click an assignment that's linked to WeBWorK. You'll be redirected to WeBWorK.
On the left, click Course Configuration.
At the top of the page, click E-Mail.
To the right of 'Email feedback from students automatically sent to this permission level and higher', click the drop-down menu and select ta.

Overview
The Canvas People tool shows all the users enrolled in your course. Officially enrolled students and faculty of record are added to your roster automatically via an integration with SIS. There are options in the People tool to search for users by name or role, as well as to add, remove, and change the role or section of individual users. Only manually enrolled users can be deleted or modified in the People tool; all changes to officially enrolled students and instructors must be processed in SIS.
Basic instructions
To add a new user to your course in Canvas at IU:
From the course navigation menu, click People.
Click + People.
If you're adding someone with an IU username, select the Login ID radio button. Alternatively, if you're adding someone using a guest account, select the Email Address radio button.
In the text box, add the person's IU username (not email address), or a non-IU email address for guest users. You can add multiple users (separated by commas), but only if they all have the same role.
From the Role menu, select the appropriate role.
Students who are not officially enrolled in a course must be added with the 'Instructor-Added Student' role. For more, see Permissions and roles in Canvas.
If your course has more than one section, select the desired section. When adding teachers or AIs/TAs to multi-section courses, use the Can interact with users in their section only option to control whether they can interact with all students or just their own sections.
Click Next. The system will validate the usernames you entered.
Click Add Users.
Add Guest accounts or group accounts
To add a new user to your course, that user must already have a Canvas account at Indiana University. IU Canvas accounts are provisioned automatically for all IU students, faculty, and staff; however, they are not provisioned automatically for IU Guest accounts or group accounts. Instruct the owners of these accounts to create their Canvas accounts as follows. Once the Canvas account exists, you can add it to your course using the instructions above.
Guest accounts: Guest account users create their Canvas accounts by logging into Canvas at IU with their Guest account credentials.
Group accounts: IU group account owners must request Canvas accounts for their groups via email to the UITS Mission Critical team.
For more about creating Canvas accounts for IU Guest accounts or group accounts, see Access Canvas at IU.
Add users after the end of a term
The People tool is automatically locked when the term for your course ends. However, teachers, TAs, and designers may change the course end date at any time. To do so:
Active course (that is, a course listed above the 'Past Enrollments' heading on your 'All Courses' page): See How do I change the start and end dates for a course?
Inactive course (that is, a course listed under the 'Past Enrollments' heading on your 'All Courses' page): See Unlock or relock your Canvas course after the term ends.
