The Enroll User feature allows Instructors and TA’s to manually add users to a course and set their course roles. Students are automatically enrolled/un-enrolled into courses, but you can add additional students, guests, other instructors, or a teaching assistant to your course.
Step 1
In the Control panel of your Blackboard course, click on Users and Groups, then select Users.
Step 2
Select the Find Users to Enroll button (do not use the search box on this page - this is to search existing users already in the course).
Step 3
-
- Option 1: If you know the Mason username, enter the NetID of the user you wish to enroll into the Username field. This is the first part of an email address. So for [email protected], enter jsmith. If you know the username, DO NOT click on Browse. Enter multiple usernames in the format of username1, username2, username3.
- Option 2: If you don't know the person's username/NetID, select Browse to search the database of users.
Select the checkbox of the user you wish to add, then click the Submit button.

Step 4
Select the Role for the new user. View information about Blackboard Course Roles. If adding someone as a guest, you must read this information before adding someone as a guest.
Step 5
Click the Submit button.
Note: If the user is already enrolled in the course, their name will not appear when browsing for a user. In addition, if a student had previously enrolled and then dropped the course (or an instructor previously scheduled to teach a section), you will not be able to add them to the course. You will need to contact ITS Support to manually add them to the course.
