Section instructors list

Updated 24 Jan 2024

In some courses, you can see at a glance all section instructors enrolled in a course. As the course owner, you can also hide or show a section instructor’s name in students’ course details, remove an enrolled section instructor from the course, and print the list or export it to a CSV file.

If available in your course, you have two options to open the list of section instructors:

  • Select Back to my courses, and then select the section instructors count under the course name in your course list.
  • Select Manage Course from the main menu, and then select Course Roster for MyLab or Roles and Enrollment Status for Mastering. (In some courses, select Course Roster under Course Tools.) Select Section Instructor at the top of the page.

    • A list of all enrolled section instructors and their email addresses displays.

You can choose to show or hide a section instructor in students’ course details. By default section instructors are hidden from the Instructor(s) list in the details. If there are many section instructors in your course, you might want to show only a few of them to keep the Instructor(s) list short.

Hiding section instructors does not change their access privileges in the course.

  1. Use the search field the search icon or the alphabetical list to find a section instructor in the Name column.

    The Hide column indicates whether the section instructor is currently shown or hidden in students’ course details.

  3. For Hide/show name in students' course details, select Hide or Show.

    2. Change the role for additional section instructors, if necessary.
    3. Select Save to apply changes to all highlighted rows in the list, or Cancel to discard all changes and close the roster.

Section instructors can’t hide other section instructors.

    A confirmation message shows. It might take some time for the change to complete.

  4. Select Return to Section Instructors or Close.
    • You see the status message Removing… on the section instructors list while the change is in progress.
    • When the change is complete, the section instructor’s name no longer shows on the list, and the instructor can no longer access the course.

Section instructors can’t remove other section instructors.
