The Classlist tool provides a list of course participants and their roles in your course (Student, TA, Instructor, etc.) and is the central area for managing course participants in D2L Brightspace. From the Classlist, you can view a user’s email address, role, and last accessed date, as well as which users are currently logged into Brightspace. You can also enroll new users to your course, send emails, set quiz accommodations, view class progress, and more.

Accessing the Classlist

1. Log into Brightspace with your MyCarletonOne credentials.
2. On the Brightspace homepage, locate your course in one of the following ways:
   • Select the course tile under the My Courses widget.
   • Select the Course Selector Grid  and select the course from the drop-down menu. If you are enrolled in more than 20 courses, you can search for the course name using the search bar.
3. In the navbar, select Course Admin.
   
4. Under Learner Management, select Classlist.
   

You will now see a table that lists all enrolled participants in your course at the bottom of your Classlist page. You have the option to filter your Classlist, or search for a specific user in the search field. Course participants who are currently logged into Brightspace will appear with a green dot beside their names. In the Classlist table, you can also view a user’s email, role, and last accessed date.
