[ARCHIVED] step to add a test student to the roster

what are the steps to add a test student to the roster

[kona · Accepted solution]

 @msrose , greetings! To add a test student to your course you would need to click on the "Student View" button from your Canvas course homepage - How do I view a course as a test student using Student View?. Once activating student view if you exit student view you should be able to go to your gradebook and at the bottom of the gradebook see the test student.

Hope this helps! Kona

Hi!

How can I add an avatar, bio, etc. to my test student?

Thanks!

Hi @lenz,

I don't believe it's possible to give the official "test student" accounts a profile picture/bio/etc.  Those accounts really only have an affiliation with a single course, unlike normal Canvas user accounts.  This means they don't have access to the non-course things like the dashboard, user settings, and other similar things.

Apologies there isn't better news for you on this one.

Thanks for letting me know.  How bored to I have to be with grading that I would even ask a question like this?  😁
