Manually Enrolling Users
The manual enrollment features on the Users page allow you to add specific students and instructors to your courses or sections. For example, you might want to enroll a student who comes to your office with a special request, you might need to add an instructor to one of your course sections, or you might want to maintain rigorous personal control over course enrollment for an advanced seminar.
Use these procedures for adding specific students or instructors to a course or section.
To enroll instructors
