D2L Community Enroll Students

Enrollment Process

Facilitators initiate the enrollment process by preparing a bulk enrollment file. Only the Instructional Technology Team can enroll participants in D2L Community course sites.

Note

If the participant has a NetID, you must use their NetID as their username. 

Step 1

Locate the bulk enrollment file template in the Prepare: Bulk Enrollment File section of this page (below). 

Step 2 

Submit the enrollment file as outlined in Submit a CSV File (below).

Step 3

The Instructional Technology Team processes the file. They may alert you of formatting errors that prevent enrollment of participants.

Step 4

The Instructional Technology Team will send a confirmation receipt after the file has been processed. 

Step 5

After receiving confirmation, contact participants to provide initial login and password reset instructions (below). Many participants are new to D2L Community and/or D2L itself. Emailing participants to provide login and password reset instructions can prevent confusion.

Note 

All participants new to D2L Community are automatically enrolled in a general orientation course designed to familiarize them with D2L tools and navigation.
