Sync your LMS roster into a new or existing CampusKnot course.

Written by Cameron

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

Sync Your Roster

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