How to add students to a course?

There are two ways students are added to a Tandem course:

1. Auto-enrollment: Tandem does the work.

2. Manually: Instructors add students.

 

Auto-enrollment

Tandem will automatically load the students registered for your course through our auto-enrollment feature. After you complete your Course Details to create your Tandem term, we will enable auto-enrollment for your course if that feature is available. (Yes. Auto-enrollment even catches students who drop or add your course.)

Key details

  1. Students are added or removed once per day. Auto-enrollment runs overnight. Your Tandem student roster will be updated with drops or adds at this time.

  2. Auto-enrollment may lag behind the registrar’s office by a day or two. Student information passes through several systems before we can pull it into Tandem. That takes at least a day and sometimes two.

  3. You can manually add students if needed. If you can’t wait for auto-enrollment to run, you can add individual students by hand. (See “adding students manually”)

 

Adding students manually

Most of the time our auto-enrollment feature will pick up students who drop or add your course so you don’t need to add them manually. However, in some cases auto-enrollment isn't available or doesn't update quickly enough. In those cases, you can add students manually.

Here’s how:

  1. Log in to Tandem.

  2. Click “Menu” in the upper left corner.

  3. Click “Students.”

  4. Click “Manage students”

  5. Click “Add Individual” at the top of the screen.

  6. Input the student’s first and last name and email address.

  7. The student is now saved in your course.
