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:

  1. Navigate to the course in question
  2. Go to Course Administration > Users > Enrolment methods
  3. 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.
    1. 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.
  4. If the method is NOT already in the table, you can add it by selecting it from the "Add method" dropdown menu.
    1. If you are adding the method, you will automatically be prompted to configure it properly.

Important Notes

  • It is possible to enable multiple enrolment methods on any given course. When doing so, the methods should generally be restricted by cohort.
  • If multiple self-enrolment methods are enabled on a course and the qualifies for more than one, 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".
  • In earlier versions of the learning environment, if multiple unrestricted self-enrolment methods were present in a course, a user would be presented with numerous options (e.g. numerous "enrol me" buttons) when trying to self-enrol. This is usually a configuration error on the part of the instructor or did not properly set the restrictions on an enrolment method. In the event that an administrator truly wants to disable this enhancement and continue to display numerous enrolment options to the learner, they can disable the "Show first enrolment option only" in the system-level settings.
