A student-viewable course roster can be enabled in two ways:

\begin{itemize}
\item Including a Course Roster item within the Course Contents 
using the Course Editor.  If you add a student-viewable course roster using the
Course Editor you must also use ``Edit'' to set whether
students enrolled in your course are listed by default.
\item Using the \textbf{Classlists and staff listing} item in Course Settings to set
student-viewable classlist options which include a viewable classlist. 
\end{itemize}

For the first method proceed as follows:
\begin{enumerate}
\item Select the \textbf{Course Editor} from the online menu.
\item Select the \textbf{Collaboration} tab.
\item Select the ``Course Roster'' item.
\item Click the 'Edit' link, and set 'Student-viewable roster settings'
One of: 'Classlist of all sections' or Classlist of viewer's section needs to be selected 
for the classlist to be accessible to students.
\item Click 'Save'
\item Click 'Exit Editing'
\end{enumerate}



For the second method proceed as follows:
\begin{enumerate}
\item Select \textbf{Course Settings} from the \textbf{Settings} dropdown in the inline menu.
\item Check the checkbox for \textbf{Classlists and staff listing} and click 'Display'
\item Make appropriate selections in the Student-viewable classlist options area
\item Click 'Save'
\end{enumerate}



Note: the information displayed in the student-viewable roster is as follows:

\begin{itemize}
\item Last Name, First Name (links to user's Personal Information page)
\item Username:domain (links to Message creation page to send message to this student)
\item Section
\item Available Portfolio files (if the link to accessible portfolio files is enabled)
\end{itemize}


You can choose whether student's individually need to opt-in to be displayed in the student-viewable roster.

When display of a student-viewable roster is enabled in a course, a student's inline menu
will include a \textbf{People} item.  If display is not enabled that item will be absent.
