Academics: Find Students in Specific Course
Find students enrolled in a specific course.
You need to identify students enrolled in specific course(s) as you need to communicate with them, calculate overall enrollment in the class or monitor trends.
Using a filter, rather than a course roster, lets you see enrollment across multiple academic periods, courses and course sections all in one report. And you can show alongside each student any information available on the finder such as the student’s site, major, gender, email, etc.
By default this filter will show enrolled students who received a withdrawn grade as they were presumably enrolled in a portion of the class.
Considerations
Do you want all students enrolled in a course (e.g. MTH 101) or just specific sections (e.g. MTH 101, Sections 2 and 4.
Do you want to include students who withdrew or failed the course?
Start with a pre-built filter
Use this as a starting point. You can add fields to further narrow students returned.
If you don’t see this filter your institution may have renamed or modified it. You can build it from the example below or open a Campus Cafe support ticket and request it.
Go to Filters > Students.
In All Users select ZCC STUDENTS IN COURSE.
Click Filters.
Next to Course Semester click the three horizontal lines, select the semester(s) when the courses were or will be offered and click Apply.
Next to Course Number click the three horizontal lines, select the course(s). You’ll choose the specific sections in the next step.
Next to Course Section click the three horizontal lines, select the section(s). These are the specific offerings of the course you selected in the previous step. If you want to see all sections, remove “Course Sections” and leave the field empty.
By default, the filter will show students who received a withdrawal grade. In Final Grade enter the grades you wish to exclude separated by commas. For example, if you don’t want to include withdrawn students and you give such students a W, enter a W. If you don’t want students with a W or F, enter W,F. Alternatively, you can click the three horizontal lines and select the grades.
If you want to see all students, remove “grades” and leave this field empty.Click Submit.
