Enroll users into my class

You can enroll existing Möbius users into your class by:

  • Enabling users to self-enroll with self-registration
  • Uploading a user roster file
  • Searching for specific users using the Enroll Users option
  • Establishing an LTI connection to directly enroll users into your class from your organization's LMS

Enable self-enrollment

You can enable student self-enrollment for your class using the Who can self-enroll into this class? setting while creating or editing a class.

Check out Manage student enrollment.

TIP: You can also use the Who can self-enroll into this class? setting to prevent student self-enrollment so that you're in full control of who's enrolling into your class. Check out Manage student enrollment.

Enroll users with a user roster file

After you've created a user roster file that contains existing Möbius users, you can upload the file into Möbius to enroll many users at once into your class.

TIP: Check out Work with a user roster file for more information on working with these types of files.

NOTE: If you have the instructor + create or administrator privileges, you'll be able to simultaneously create new users and then enroll them into your class. If you don't have privileges to create users, then the users you're enrolling into your class using a user roster file must already exist in Möbius. Check out Import Users From Roster option on Class Homepage.

  1. Click Class User Manager on the Class Homepage.

The Class User Manager menu is the first menu on the Class Homepage in the main navigation bar.

  1. Click Import Users From Roster on the Class User Manager menu.

NOTE: A warning message appears on the Roster Upload page if you don't have the correct privileges to create new users.

B. Profiles to update — Summary table of the existing users that will be enrolled into to your class from the user roster file.

NOTE: If your user roster file import has errors, the Invalid lines section will be displayed.

The Invalid Lines pane shows a table of results of invalid lines from the user roster upload.

Reasons for invalid lines during your user roster file upload could be:

  • You're trying to enroll users with privileges beyond your own (Example — you're an instructor attempting to enroll an administrator or instructor + create user)
  • Your user roster file has errors in an attribute column heading name
  • Your user roster file is missing an attribute value
