Membership
- For help with the new Membership Module, please refer to the Membership Module User Guide.
Each class website has a Membership page. If the class has sections, each section also has its own Membership page. A Membership page displays a list of the class members: students on the Official Class List, students from the Participants user group, and guests. The Membership page for the class lists all class members; the Membership page for a section lists only the section's members. Instructors and students have access to the Membership page; guests do not.
The Official Class List
For academic class websites, the Official Class List is created automatically from the MITSIS database and cannot be edited by staff. Class websites use preregistration data from the Registrar's office to populate the list about a week before the start of classes. Each night, the list is refreshed with the day's adds and drops. By the end of the first full week of classes at the latest, the preregistration list is replaced with the Registrar's official class list, which is also updated nightly.
Because the registration information is not fully available at the start of the semester, instructors or TAs can grant access to students not yet on the Official Class List list by adding them to the Participants group.
Instructors can use the Membership page to:
- Click the Edit Participants tab to add or remove students from the class list.
- Block access by individual students who intend to drop the class.
- Click the Access Control tab to add and remove users from user groups.
- Click the Manage Sections tab to add, edit, and remove sections and to assign students to sections.
- Click the Email Members tab to send an email to class members or section members.
- Click a member's email address to send an email to just that individual.
