How do I manually enroll students in a pathway?

You can manually enroll users in a pathway using email addresses. Pathways supports adding up to 5,000 users at one time. If a user does not already have a Canvas Student ePortfolios account, they can still be enrolled in the pathway. New users will be prompted to complete the on-boarding process when they first attempt to access the pathway.

When the enrollment process has been completed, you will receive an email indicating the process is complete and how many enrollments were successful.
