An instructor may add a student to a course officially or unofficially. The official add registers a student for the purpose of academic credit and tuition. Once officially added only the Registrar can withdraw the student. To officially add a student, use the Registrar or WebAdvisor tool that allow you to act on behalf of the Registrar.

The unofficial add grants no academic credit and ONLY gives access to the Moodle course. The instructor may withdraw the unofficial student at any time. An instructor may unofficially add a student to any official or unofficial course where you are an instructor. The instructions described here apply only to the unofficial add.

Viewing the Student in a course.

1. Log into the WittLink Portal
2. In the left column under Academics, click "My Moodle Courses"
3. When you select "My Moodle Courses" all Moodle courses currently assigned to you appear on the Portal page; this includes the official courses created for you by the Registrar and any unofficial courses created by you.
4. Each course name has a link to display the students or members of that course.

If you know the Wittenberg account name of the person, enter it in the upper search box and click "search" to the right of the box. A search results paragraph will appear just beneath the box. If the account is in the database it will appear with an "unofficial add" button to the right. Click the "unofficial add" button to add the individual to the class.

If you have a first or last name use the pop-down menu just above the search box to select the type of information you have then enter the name in the search box and click the search button to the right of the box. The search results paragraph displays the accounts it found that match the name.

Click the "unofficial add" button next to the individual you wish to add.

Unofficially Add a Non-Wittenberg Person

For each Moodle user there must be an individual account and a corresponding password. The standard Wittenberg account supplies these requirements to Moodle. A non-Wittenberg person must have an account created for Moodle. To create such an account three bits of information are needed: a first name, a last name, and a valid email address.

Below the entry box for a Wittenberg person is a form to add a non-Wittenberg person. Fill in the first name box, the last name box, and the email address box. The email address MUST BE CORRECT. Once the account is created, an email is sent to the person with instructions on how to registrar for a password to the account. When you are confident that the email is correct click the ³add² button below the email address box. The new person will receive instructions to access the account. This is a back and forth process that should take two email messages.
