Video walkthrough

This walkthrough uses the real DeanDesk interface with the fictional Northstar Academy demo school and a calm, AI-generated English voice. Payments and outside services are not connected in the demo.
The Students tab is your class roster inside a course. Only course staff (the instructor, assistants, and admins) see it. Students never see this tab.

​
Open the roster

Open a course you teach and choose Students in the course sidebar. The badge next to the tab shows how many students are enrolled. The Enrolled students table lists each student with these columns: Click Refresh to reload the roster, for example after an admin enrolls someone.

​
Add students

1

Open Add Students

Click Add Students at the top of the tab.
2

Find the students

Type in Search students to search by name, username, or email. The list shows active students at your school who aren’t already in the course.
3

Select and add

Tick each student you want, then click Add Students (the button shows how many you selected, for example Add 2 Students). The students appear on the roster as Active.
To enroll many students across several courses at once, admins can use Bulk enrollment. Students can also join by purchasing or enrolling through the catalog, and full courses can use a waitlist.

​
Manage one student

Click Manage on a student’s row to open Manage: student name. It shows the student’s email, status, enrollment date, and current grade, plus three sections.
1

Assign final grade

Open Assign final grade (or Update final grade if one exists). Choose a Letter grade, optionally enter a Numeric score (%) from 0 to 100 and Comments, then click Assign grade. Saving a final grade also sets the enrollment to Completed.
2

Change enrollment status

Open Enrollment status and click Set Active, Set Completed, or Set Withdrawn.
3

Remove from course

Open Remove from course and click Remove student from course. Confirm with Confirm removal, or click Cancel to keep the student.
Removing a student ends their enrollment in this course only. Their account stays at your school.
The letters available for final grades come from your school’s grading standards. You can also record final grades for the whole class in the course gradebook.

​
Remove several students

1

Select students

Tick the checkbox on each student’s row, or tick the header checkbox to select everyone. A bar shows how many are selected. Click Clear selection to start over.
2

Remove them

Click Remove selected. The dialog lists every selected student. Click Remove from course to confirm, or Cancel.
If some removals fail, those students stay selected so you can try again.
