When a course is deemed mandatory, an organization should enrol its users via programs. However, if an organization wants to allow users to self-enrol in courses, then one (or more) self-enrolment method should be enabled for the course(s) in question.
Step-by-step Guide
In order to enable self-enrolment methods on an individual course:
- Navigate to the course in question
- Go to Course Administration > Users > Enrolment methods
- If the method is already in the table but simply disabled (greyed out), you can enable it by clicking on the eye icon next to it.
- One you enable it, click on the edit icon next to it to make sure it is configured properly. For example, if you want to charge a fee for a course, make sure you configure the appropriate fee in the respective enrolment method's settings.
- If the method is NOT already in the table, you can add it by selecting it from the "Add method" dropdown menu.
- If you are adding the method, you will automatically be prompted to configure it properly.
Important Notes
- If multiple self-enrolment methods are enabled on a course, only the first (highest in the list) method applicable to the learner in question will be presented them. It's therefore important that you not only "enable" the self-enrolment method but also "put them in the right order" if there are more than 1.
