Add a Student

You can add a single student to your class in WebAssign.

Note If you manage your K–12 course through NGLSync, this feature is available in NGLSync and disabled in your WebAssign course.

You might have a student enroll or transfer to your course after you uploaded the roster.

Note You cannot change your students' account details like name, email address, or password. Students must update their own Cengage account details.
  1. Open the Roster page.

    From My Classes, click Roster under Class Tools.

  2. Click Add Student.
  3. In the Add User window, enter the student's information.

    If the student does not have a Cengage account, one will be created using the information you enter. If the student already has an account, your name and password entries will be disregarded.
