How do I add a user by role?
SolutionStudents who register for your course will be automatically added to your Blackboard course site, once the site has been requested via the Course Request Form (www.nyu.edu/its/blackboard/request/).
Once a Blackboard course site has been requested, the student enrollments will be activated for that course. Student enrollments at NYU are processed every 4 hours, i.e., 8am, 12pm, 4pm and 8pm. Depending on the time of day you request your course site, students will appear in your Blackboard course site.
As an instructor you can add other users such as additional instructors, a Teaching Assistant, or an auditing student via the Add Users by Role tool in the Control Panel of your Blackboard course site.

Go to the control panel of your course site and click on the Add Users by Role link in the Course Tools area. |

In Section 1, you can choose the Role you want to provide to the user. The role options are as follows:
