Enrolling Staff into a Canvas Course Site

How to enrol staff into your Canvas course site

Only users with the role of Course Coordinator, or Manager can modify course availability. To see the associated privileges with each role please see our Canvas Roles and Privileges information. You have the ability to add staff to your course while the course is active. Once the course goes into a read only state, you will not be able to add staff and will need to contact LTS@newcastle.edu.au.

  1. Log into Canvas.
  2. Access your course (from the Canvas Dashboard or Courses Area).
