Batch change of student enrollment status

Updated 13 Feb 2024

Instructors or a section instructor with the Roster privilege can change the student enrollment status using a spreadsheet file, especially for courses with many students.

  1. From the course menu, select Roster
  2. Select   Export/Import Roster Details.

    This option becomes available after at least one student has joined your course and signed in.

  3. Select Export to export the Roster details to a .csv file.
  4. Open the .csv file and make your changes in the Status column.
    • To disenroll students: Enter Disenrolled (or copy from another entry and paste).
    • To suspend students: Enter Suspended (or copy and paste).
    • To re-enroll students who were disenrolled or suspended: Enter Enrolled (or copy and paste).

    Important: You cannot enroll students from here. Students must already be enrolled in your course before you can edit their records in the spreadsheet.

  5. Save the edited .csv file to a location that you will access again in Step 7, below.
  6. Return to Mastering, and if the Export/Import window is no longer open, select  Export/Import Roster Details again.
  7. Browse to locate the edited .csv file on your computer, and then select Import.
  8. To confirm your intention to import changes, select Continue Import.
  9. Close the Export/Import Roster Details window.

    The Roster page refreshes and displays the changes you imported with the edited .csv file.

Consider using the Gradebook to check students in your Mastering course against a registrar's list of enrolled students.
