Students are added to ePortfolio courses through an automated daily process that identifies students who have registestered for a class since the previous day and adds them to the roster in your ePortfolio course.
Since this process does not happen in "real time" (i.e., minute-by-minute), students who add and then drop a course may never appear in your ePortfolio course, in which case no action is necessary on your part. There may be times, however, when you will have to remove these students from your course manually. To do so, follow the instructions below
If you remove a student by mistake before the end of the add/drop period at the beginning of a semester, don't worry, they will be added again when the course roster is updated the next day. If this happens after the add/drop period has ended, you can search for the student in the User Access page under the Search for User panel (at left) and click the plus (+) sign next to their name to add them back to the course.
Send a message to eportfolio@otterbein.edu if you encounter any issues during this process.
