Enroll Students Using a Roster File

Instead of letting students enroll themselves, you can enroll students by uploading your students' data to create their Cengage accounts.

Advantages

Disadvantages

  • You explicitly control which students have access to your course.

  • You can assign usernames for your students.

  • You can ensure that your students' information is accurate.
  • Students do not have an opportunity to mistakenly create multiple usernames.
  • If your students already have Cengage accounts, uploading roster data will create additional accounts for students whose existing Cengage accounts don't exactly match the data you provide.
  • Depending on the size of your class and how you receive roster information from your school, preparing a roster file for use might be a considerable effort.
  • You must upload a new roster to add late additions to your class before those students can begin work in WebAssign.
