How do I add or remove students from the student list?

Learn how to add missing students and remove withdrawn students.

There may be times that Derivita's list of students doesn't match what your LMS shows, because it doesn't receive a roster from the LMS. It'll automatically update over time, though.

You can learn more and see how to manually make changes with the directions below.

Add students

Students are added to Derivita's list when they first open a Derivita assignment. So if students are missing near the start of a course, that's normal; they just haven't opened Derivita yet.

To add a student to the list, have them open any Derivita assignment in the course.

Remove students

  1. Open any Derivita assignment and click Students:Screenshot 2025-05-02 12.02.58

  3. Remove or reinstate students as needed
