There are three ways to invite students to your course on CampusKnot, depending on your class size and setup:
LMS integration (D2L, Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard) available upon request
Getting to the invite screen
Step 1 Click the three-dot menu (⋮)
Step 2 Select the 'Invite Students' option
💡 Inviting TAs or co-instructors? Use this same option. Even though the button says Invite Students, it's how you invite everyone: students, TAs, and other course admins.
Option 1: Share a course code
Best for adding students on day one and catching late joiners. Students enter the code once and land directly in your course.
Step 1 Click Copy Code
Step 2 Paste the code into your syllabus, first-day slides, or LMS page
⚠️ Don't click Refresh Code after sharing. Refreshing generates a new code, and the one already in your syllabus stops working
Option 2: Invite via Email or .CSV
Step 1 Click 'Invite via email' or choose the 'Invite via .CSV'
Step 2
Invite via Email: Copy and paste each student's school email address, then skip to step 5.
Invite via .CSV: Continue to step 3.
Step 3 Select 'Download sample csv file'
Step 4 Copy and paste each student's first name, last name, and school email address
⚠️ Important: Only .edu and .ca email extensions are valid.
Step 5 Select 'Send'
💡 Students with CampusKnot accounts join your course immediately, and students without accounts are added automatically once they create one.
Option 3: Invite via LMS integration
LMS integration is available upon request. Contact your CampusKnot representative to set up Canvas, Moodle, D2L Brightspace, or Blackboard for your class.
Step 1 Navigate to the 'Course Materials' or 'Course Tools' page. It might look similar to the options here⬇️
Step 2 Click on the 'Launch Courseware' option
Step 3 Before inviting students, sync your LMS course with CampusKnot.
Choose 'Create new course' to import an LMS course as a new CampusKnot course
'Import to existing course' to sync the roster to a course you've already created
Step 4 Click 'Update roster'. CampusKnot syncs the roster and invites every student in your LMS course.
