Import Users from SIS

Only students can be imported using this method. Teachers and TA’s must be added to the course manually by following the instructions here.

This tool can also be used to manually force an update if a student recent registered and requires immediate access.

  1. Click Manage from the left had menu.
  2. Click Import Student List from SIS.
  3. Select the course you want to import users into.
  4. For Automatic enrollment sync for this course select:
    • On – if this list should continue to be linked to SIS and updated twice daily
    • Off – if this list just requires a one time snapshot import from SIS
  5. Select From the SIS
  6. In the SIS Users field, enter the course(s) in the following format:
    • For single course/section: [course code][course#]_[course section]_[academic term].
      Example: MUSC313_001_2019W
    • For multiple courses/sections: add a comma between each course code in the above format (no spaces)
      Example: MUSC313_001_2019W,MUSC313_002_2019W
  7. Click Import to start the import.
  8. You will be redirected to another window.
  9. Click on Go Ahead and Execute the Updates.

Tip: Check to ensure the enrollment list matches the number of students indicated in the UBC Course Schedule.

NOTES:

  • Student lists for CLAS sites that are linked to the SIS course(s) are automatically updated twice a day.
  • Once CLAS is linked with SIS, CLAS admins can still manually add users individually, this will not break the nightly sync.
  • If the manual list import option is used, the “automatic nightly enrollment sync” setting will be turned OFF by default.
