If you’re an instructor on Thinkific, you may need to manually add a student to your course for various reasons, such as if they signed up through a different platform or if they’re having trouble accessing the course. In this article, we’ll show you how to manually add someone to a Thinkific course, so you can ensure that all your students have access to your content.
Methods for Manually Adding Someone to a Thinkific Course
If you need to manually add someone to a Thinkific course, there are two options available to you.
Option 1: Adding a user through the “Users” section
The first option is to add a user through the “Users” section. To do this, you need to have admin access to the course. Once you have logged into your account, click on the “Users” tab and then click on “Add User.” You will need to enter the user’s name, email address and select the course you want to add them to. After this, click on the “Add User” button, and the user will be added to the course.
Option 2: Adding a user through the course page
The second option is to add a user through the course page. To do this, you need to have access to the course page and be logged into your Thinkific account. Go to the course page and click on the “Enroll” button. You will be taken to a page where you can enter the user’s email address and name. After this, click on the “Enroll” button, and the user will be added to the course.
Both of these methods are straightforward and easy to use. However, you need to have the necessary permissions to add someone to a Thinkific course. If you don’t have admin access, you won’t be able to add anyone to the course.

It is always a good idea to communicate with the user about the manual enrollment. Let them know that they have been added to the course manually and provide any necessary information they may need, such as login credentials or instructions on how to access the course. This can prevent confusion and ensure a positive learning experience for the user.
