Add New or Existing Students to a Class

On the Roster page, you can add new or existing student accounts to your classes.

Note: Administrators may restrict teachers' ability to add or edit information. If you do not have access to add students to your classes, the data permission for this option is turned off by your district, so you must contact your administrator to request updates.

To add a student to a class:

1. In the Ed banner, click the My Classes tab, and then on the left panel of the My Classes page, click Roster. The Roster page appears.
