Create a new course directly in CampusKnot or sync your existing course roster from your LMS.

Sync your course roster from your LMS to automatically add students to CampusKnot, or update your roster after your add/drop period ends.

Before You Start

This guide assumes you've already linked your LMS account to CampusKnot. If you haven't, complete that setup first: How to Link Your LMS Account to CampusKnot.

⚠️ Are your course sections combine into one course inside your LMS? How you set it up in CampusKnot depends on whether those sections meet at the same time:

  • Different times: create a Multi-section course in CampusKnot and upload each section's roster manually. Don't use the sync steps below, instead follow these steps

  • Same time: Continue with the steps below

Step 2 Choose the course you'd like to import from your LMS into CampusKnot
