As a teacher, you have the choice Administer course in the course menu. Administer course includes two functions:

Early access - Gives the possibility to enter accepted students in the course room prior to their registration.
Joint courses - Gives the possibility to take in students from another course room. You might know this as crosslisting courses.

Menyvalet Administrera kurs

If you as a teacher do not see this menu choice in the course menu, you can add it in Settings>Navigation.

Early access

With early access you can let students in who are accepted to the course instance in Ladok, and set a date for when they no longer will have access to the course room in case they do not register for the course instance in Ladok.

Joint courses

Joint courses can be used to join different course instances in one single course room. Course rooms for every course instance are automatically created in Ladok. If you need students from various course instances in one and the same course room, you can take in those students to one of the course rooms. The function Joint courses manages students' dropping out as well as new registrations that happen in Ladok.

Start in the course room where you want to gather the students. Go to Administer course and choose Add joint courses
Search for the correct course instance from where you want to import the students. Choose the course instance by clicking it.
Now, the Sections in the course room are listed. Sections include the links to Ladok for the students in the course room. Choose the section(s) you want to bring to your course room.
Remember to Save if everything is correct.
Back in the overview for Administer course, you see what section with students is added to the course room. If this is not correct, you can delete the section and add another section, but only if the students have not yet started working in the course room. It is also possible to add more sections from the same or other course rooms. If the course room from which you took the students is not going to be used, it can stay unpublished in Canvas.

Course Room Name

Update the course name by clicking the Settings link in the course menu, where you can change both the course name and course code.

If the course room that the students were taken from is not to be used, it can remain unpublished in Canvas. It is also a good idea to change Settings > Name and add [NOT IN USE] before the course name to make it clear that it is not in use. (The room must still exist to manage the students' connection to the course).
