Adding Students

During the first few weeks of the quarter, your classlist will be updated daily to include any students who have just registered for your course. You do NOT need to add students yourself, though you may do so if you want to (see below).

However, students who are added automatically will NOT be assigned any homework assignments. You must assign these to students yourself, for example by using the “Assign to all students” function for each open assignment.

Automatic updates usually occur by 10 AM each weekday morning. You will receive an email from our computer staff when these daily updates are no longer occurring.

As the course instructor, you can give any student access to your webwork course. To do this you will need the following information from the student:

1. Name
2. Student ID number
3. Email address
4. Section number, if any

Once you have all this information you can add them to the system:

1. Click “Classlist Editor” from the Instructor Tools menu
2. Click the radio button next to “Add [1] Student(s)”
   1. You can add up to 5 students at a time
   2. Click “Take Action!”
3. Enter the information as listed:
   • Last Name
   • First Name
   • Student ID #
   • Login Name = first part of UCD e-mail address (username@ucdavis.edu)
   • E-mail address
   • Section
   • Leave Recitation and Comments blank
4. Next select the available homework sets, using the shift key to select more than one
5. Finally, Click “Add Students”
