Student list in Canvas

Last changed: 10 November 2025

A new feature has been developed in Canvas to create a list of students in the course.

The email addresses can help communication with students at an early or late stage of the course, for example with admitted or completed students.

A list of students can be exported directly to Excel or copied and pasted into another document for various purposes. It is also possible to copy student email addresses (in a semicolon separated format) so that they can be pasted directly into an email message.

Filtering can be done on:

  1. Course sections.
  2. Students' status in Ladok (multiple can be selected, use Ctrl + click). If a student is suspended (for example for disciplinary reasons), the status will be Inactive.
  3. Group sets within the course.
  4. Selection of group or groups (multiple can be selected, use Ctrl + click).

Filtered selection (or unfiltered selection) can then be exported:

  1. The list is copied in a tab-separated format to be pasted into any document.
  2. Download a Excel document.
  3. The students' email addresses are copied in a ready-made format to be pasted into an email message (the email addresses are separated by semicolons). The email address from Ladok is primarily selected, but if it is missing, the email address from the Canvas column is used instead.
