Inviting students to enroll in your course

After you create a course, you can invite students (or other users) to enroll in your course.

An enrolled student will be authorized to use any applications associated with the course. In addition, those within your home region will also be able to access any data you may have uploaded to your course data directory. This page provides information about using LIBNAME statements with your course data directory.

We recommend that you send an e-mail to the appropriate students. The e-mail should:

• Instruct the students to first register for SAS OnDemand for Academics so that their account is ready for the course enrollment.
• Identify the software application(s) that you plan to teach with.
• Include the course name you used when you registered the course.
• Include the course code for the course, which they will need to enroll.
• If you are using Forecast Studio with the course, instruct the students to create their personal environment.

You can find the course name and the course code in the course details page under the Courses tab in your Dashboard.

1. Sign on to the SAS OnDemand for Academics Dashboard.
2. Under the Courses section, find the appropriate course.
3. Click the course details link.
4. The page will show the course code as well as the name, description and the applications you selected for the course.

The course data directory can be found on the Dashboard, below the section Courses list.
