How do I join two different rosters together in one Gauchospace site? (Merge rosters)

  • Article Updated:

By merging rosters, an Instructor can join multiple rosters into a single course site. This is useful if you are teaching a cross-listed course or if you want multiple sections of a course to use the same master course site. By default, GauchoSpace will automatically create your course sites in most situations. This means that you will need to delete one of the course sites in order to be able to merge it with another.

When you merge rosters, GauchoSpace will automatically create a designated Group for each roster merged into your course site. 

  1. Log in to GauchoSpace.
  2. Enter the course site you wish to be the master site.
  3. In the UCSB Course Tool block, click Merge Rosters Tool.

  4. Course rosters that can be merged into the current site are listed. Check the rosters/courses you would like to have merged. If you do not see the course you would like to merge listed, please follow the instructions listed in the section "Delete Course and Merge Roster". 
  5. Click Add roster.

  7. Once you merge your rosters, you can rename the course site to reflect the multiple enrollments. Edit the name under the Change course name section.

  8. You can view all students in the course, including the newly added students, by going to the Administration Block. Click Users>Enrolled Users.

If you do not see the roster for the course you would like to merge, the course roster has already been created. You will need to delete the other course site in order to free up the roster and merge it into the existing course site. Follow the steps below to do so.

  1. Log in to GauchoSpace.
  2. Enter the course site you wish to be the master site.
  3. To delete a course that has already been created (in order to merge the roster into an existing course), click on the Merge Rosters Tool under the UCSB Course Tool block.
