How do I email individual participants through the roster?

Note: Due to privacy restrictions, information contained in the Roster tool is restricted to site participants in the Instructor, Secondary Instructor, Teaching Assistant, Owner, or Administrator roles. (Access to official photos is further restricted to participants listed in SIS as instructors, secondary instructors, or teaching assistants for rosters containing those photos.)

Participants in the Student, Member, or Observer roles have no access to any of this information. By default, the tool is hidden in sites created using the site templates, meaning that students will not see the tool in the tool menu. Even if the tool is unhidden, students, members, or observers will see a page with no participant information after clicking on the link.

Go to Roster.

Select Roster from the tool menu in your site.

Email participants in Cards view.

To email individual participants in Cards viewing format, locate the desired recipient and select the email address link at the bottom of their card. An email will automatically open in the computer's default mail program.

Note: By default, the roster will appear in the Cards viewing format. This is a notecard-style list that includes a card for each participant containing their photo, name, user ID, role, email address, and group memberships (if any). However, the List viewing format also includes links to email participants.  

Email participants in List view.

To email individual participants in List View, locate the desired recipient and select the email address link in the Email column to the right of their name. An email will automatically open in the computer's default mail program.
