Note: These instructions only give participants Moodle access and do not officially register them for your course. They will still need to register on TheHub or with their home institution's registrar.

Note: Reminders are sent to participants with temporary status and are reminded to register. 

Students who are registered for your course on TheHub or through their home institution will be added to Moodle automatically. There can be a delay of a few hours or a day between the student registering themself, and gaining access to the Moodle course.  If a student needs access to your Moodle site before their registration is processed, you can enroll them temporarily yourself using these instructions.

You will also need to grant TAs access, Waitlisted students, co-educators, etc. to your course in this way.

Note: Reminders are sent to participants with temporary status and are reminded to register.

Oops- Can't Find Them?

Here's what to do if you are trying to add, and cannot find, someone who is...

  • A Hampshire student
    1. Double check that you have the correct name spelling, or try searching for just the first OR the last name, not both. If you still can't find them...
    2. Have them log in once to the Moodle system. 
    3. Once they've logged in, follow the steps above to search for them. They should now be in the list, and you can proceed.
  • A Five College Student
    1.  Have them log in once to the Hampshire Moodle at moodle.hampshire.edu - make sure they are not going to their home campus Moodle system instead! 
    2. On the next screen they should click the logo for THEIR school (Smith, UMass, etc) and use their home campus log-in
    3. Once they've logged in, follow the steps above to search for them. They should now be in the list, and you can proceed.
    4. Email moodle@hampshire.edu if you have trouble!
  • Not a Hampshire or Five College Student
