Enrolling students into Support and Communication spaces
This guide will demonstrate how to search for and enrol students into VU Collaborate - Support and Communication spaces.
Note that - these instructions are only applied for Support (SPRT) and Course Communication (COMM) spaces, and students can only be enroled by the SC Convenors. With your normal teaching spaces, the student enrolment process will be automatic.
The following are the steps for enrolling people:
- Access Classlist
- Add Participants
- Search for Users
- Assign Role
- Add Multiple Students
- Confirm Enrolment
- Unenrol Manual Students
Step One: Access Classlist
1. Navigate to the desired VU Collaborate space and select the Space Admin menu in the navbar.

A menu will open where you can begin a search for the person you want to add. You can enter their first and last name or their username (student number).
1. Enter the student's number or student's name.
2. Click on the Search icon . The search results will appear.
We recommend you to search using 's' number, as the student name in VU Collaborate may differ from their email address. Students who have already been added to the space previously will also not appear in a search. If you cannot locate the person you are trying to add, contact the ITS Service Desk for further support. Provide the person and the space details (username & email).
If the user is already enrolled in the space, their name will appear in the search results with an icon beside it.
Step Four: Assign Role
