\label{Course_Create_Class_List}
As Course Coordinator in a class you can upload course rosters containing lists of students, or alternatively lists of teaching personnel (excluding additional Course Coordinators). Intended roles (instructor, TA, student etc.) for each user can be either read from the file, or a default can be specified.

\begin{enumerate}

\item Mouseover the \textbf{People} item in the inline menu and click \textbf{Users} or select 
\includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{cprv}
\textbf{Manage course users} in the Main Menu.
\item At the \textbf{User Management} screen, select
\includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{uplusr}
\textbf{Upload a File of Course Users}. 
\item  Type the path to the file that contains the user list, 
or click the \fbox{Browse...} button to locate the file on your machine.
\item Select the appropriate file type from the drop-down menu 
(usually \textbf{CSV spreadsheet}).  To see how to
generate a CSV file, refer to \ref{Course_Convert_To_CSV}.
\item Click the \fbox{Next} button. 
\item The next screen allows you to associate the uploaded spreadsheet's columns 
   with the necessary student fields, such as: \textbf{Last Name}, \textbf{First Name}, 
   etc.  Use the drop-down menus to make an 
   association for each of the spreadsheet's columns.

NOTE: If you wish to associate a particular column to more than one field 
      (if, for example, you wish to make the students' initial passwords the 
      same as their student/employee id), click the \fbox{Reverse 
      Association} button.  Then you can assign columns of the spreadsheet to more 
      than one field. You can also set the login type, the start/end dates for 
   the students from this page.

\item Once you have the column assignment and defaults set,  click the \fbox{Update Users} button to finish.  

\item If you had checked the ``Full Update'' box, after processing of the uploaded file, a list of students who are in the course, but who were not listed in the uploaded file will be displayed, and you will have the opportunity to drop some, or all, of those students.
