Moodle
Participants
The Participants area of your course lists students who have enrolled in your course.
Courses in https://moodle.unbc.ca are automatically updated daily according to official class lists from the UNBC Office of the Registrar, but if you are wondering why there are no participants listed in your class it could be 1 of 2 things:
- Your student(s) are not yet registered on the official class list.
- Your student(s) have a hold on their UNBC account preventing them from accessing https://moodle.unbc.ca. Holds are sometimes placed on student accounts if fees, tuition, etc are unpaid.
Locating the Participant List
You can find your Participants list in the top menu of your course. The screenshot below illustrates the location.
You will find a list of all the students in the course. You may note that some students have a yellow “Suspended” flag to the right of their name. This means that they were registered in the course but have dropped it. the suspended status prevents them from accessing the Moodle course. CTLT recommends leaving these students as-is to preserve their data and assignment submissions, as per UNBC course retention policy. Suspended students will not appear in your Moodle gradebook.
Adding Teaching Assistants to your Course
UNBC Teaching Assistants are required to use their UNBC employee user ids for teaching assistant related work within UNBC platforms. A teaching assistant with a finalized contract will have a UNBC employee userid created/activated. To ensure this requirement, the CTLT oversees the addition of teaching assistants to courses in https://moodle.unbc.ca and will ensure they have access to the appropriate course(s). If there are late additions or urgent access adjustments required please contact ctlt@unbc.ca
