Membership

Membership, located in your Home site, displays the list of sites in which you are currently enrolled. Users may search their enrolled courses or enroll in a joinable site from the Membership tool.

Note: Unpublished sites are only visible to site managers (i.e. instructors or site maintainers).

  2. Click My Current Sites on the top of the page.

    You will see a list of all the course and project sites in which you are currently enrolled.

    1. You may sort by Worksite title by clicking on the column heading.
    2. You may also search your list of sites by keyword. This is useful if you have many sites and would like to limit the list by specific criteria.

  3. Click My Official Course Enrolments to see the course sites you are officially enrolled in via the Registrar.

    1. You may search your list of course sites by keyword. This is useful if you have many sites and would like to limit the list by specific criteria.
    2. You can sort by "Term", by "Course Section", or by "Course Site" by clicking on the table column titles.

    Note: Only published course sites will display the site link in the "Course Site" column. If you see the course section that you are looking for but it does not have a link to the site, you are enrolled in the course section, but the course site has not been created or published yet. Please consult with your instructor.

    Note: If you recently enrolled into a course, it may take up to 24 hours for the course to appear in OWL.
