Before students can access an assignment and begin writing, they need to be enrolled in your Puddin course. Puddin gives you three ways to bring students in: a direct email invitation, a bulk CSV import for larger cohorts, or an LMS integration that syncs your existing roster automatically. Choose the method that fits your institution’s setup — or combine them if needed.
Use manual invitations when you need to add individual students or a small group quickly.
1

Open the Students panel

From your course dashboard, select Students in the left sidebar, then click Invite Students.
2

Enter student email addresses

Type or paste one or more student email addresses into the invite field, separating multiple addresses with a comma or a new line. Each address will receive a separate invitation email.
3

Set the student role

Confirm the role as Student. If you are adding a teaching assistant who needs access to submissions without full teacher permissions, select Reviewer instead.
4

Send the invitation

Click Send Invitations. Each student receives an email with a personalised link to create their Puddin account and join the course. The link expires after 7 days.
If a student does not receive the email, ask them to check their spam or junk folder. University email filters sometimes block invitation links from new senders.

​
Resend an invitation

From the Students panel, find the student whose status shows Invited (meaning they haven’t yet accepted). Click the ⋯ menu next to their name and select Resend Invitation. A fresh link is generated and sent; the previous link is invalidated.
You can resend an invitation as many times as needed. Each resend generates a new link and cancels the old one.

​
Managing enrolment status

The Students panel shows every enrolled student and their current status. Use this panel to monitor who has accepted their invitation, who is actively writing, and who has not yet joined. To change a student’s status, click the ⋯ menu next to their name in the Students panel and select the appropriate action.
Removing a student from a course does not delete their submission records or writing process data. All evidence captured before removal is retained and remains accessible in the assignment’s submission view.
