Classlist

You can use the Classlist tool to view students enrolled in your course, to identify who is currently working online, and contact those users via email and the Pager tool with instant messages. From the Classlist tool, you can view user profiles, access the User Progress tool, print a class list, and check enrollment reports.

Adding Users

Students are automatically added to and dropped from your courses each night based on Athena data. It is not necessary to manually add students to your courses. The Registrar prefers that all student enrollments come from Athena. If you are managing a non-athena eLC course, you will have to manually enroll all your users as automatic enrollment is not possible.

Note: TAs are not automatically added to courses. You will need to manually enroll TAs using this process.

  1. From the Course Navbar, select the Classlist.
  2. Click Add Participants, then choose Add existing users.
  3. Use the Search Bar [A] to look up the user. You can search by First Name, Last Name, or Username (UGA MyID).
  4. Click the search button [B] to run the search.
  5. Click the checkbox [C] beside the user you want to enroll.
  6. From the role dropdown menu [D], select the desired role for the user. Learn more about eLC course roles.

Removing Users

You can remove uses in your course, however students will automatically be re-enrolled in courses each night based on Athena enrollment data.

  1. From the Course Navbar, select the Classlist.
  2. Click the checkbox [A] beside the user you want to remove.

Instructor Permissions for the eLC Classlist

Beginning in Fall 2025, user permissions for Instructors in for-credit (Banner) courses will change. Specifically, Instructors in Banner courses will no longer be able to add or remove users to their eLC Classlist in the Student or Instructor roles.

This change helps to preserve data integrity between Banner and eLC, and ensure UGA policies are upheld (e.g., credentialling of course instructors, student enrollment in courses, and FERPA).

Students and Instructors are automatically populated in eLC course shells based on approved data in Banner and Athena, through a process that runs multiple times per day. If you believe you have been added or removed from a course in error, please check with your department administrator (faculty) and/or the Registrar’s Office (students).

The following is a list of alternative user roles that are available to Instructors in Banner courses:

  • Demo Student (to view the course from the student’s perspective)
  • Exporter/Reviewer, Reviewer (to view and/or export course materials, without making changes)
  • Student Auditor (to view course content without graded participation)
  • TA Roles (includes Teaching Assistant, TA Designer, TA Grader, Laboratory Assistant, and Peer Learning Assistant)

See above for more information on managing your eLC classlist and/or adding users to a course.
