Before starting the manual enrollment, you should have the students accounts on your Moodle site. In Moodle terminology, the process of adding new users to Moodle is called Authentication. Moodle supports multiple methods to authenticate the users like Login via email, Self registration, External Database, LDAP server, Unique login etc.
To access courses in your MoodleCloud site, firstly you need to authenticate users, and then enrol them in courses. Adding users to your MoodleCloud site is a two-step process (although it can be streamlined by the upload process). Everyone using your site must have their own account.
Moodle uses the British spelling spelling of Enrol. The US english spelling is Enroll. Click the Course you are adding the user to. In the Settings section, go to Users > Enrolled users. On the Enrolled users page, click the Enrol users button. In the Enrol Users box, the list of users will show.
You can configure the default settings for the Manual Enrollment for your course by clicking the Gear Icon besides the Eye Icon. Go to ‘Enrolled users’ from the gear menu in the nav drawer Participants link. Click the ‘Enrol users’ button at the top right or bottom left of the page. Browse or search for the user name.
Click the Enrol button opposite the user. The user will indent in the list and the enrol button will disappear , indicating that the user is enrolled.
Check if the manual enrollment is enabled for your course. You can do so by navigating to Nav Drawer > Participants > Gear Icon > Enrollment Methods. Make sure that the ‘Eye-Icon’ is open for manual enrollment.
Click on ‘Enrol users’ to assign users as students to a Moodle course. Select the users and click on ‘Enrol users’. You will see this tab when you add an enrol method.
Step 1: Log in to your dashboard. Sign in to your Moodle account to the dashboard. And then go to the Site Administration. It will be on the under the left-side menu if you’re using the plain Moodle. Dashboard -> Site Administration.
Thus, you can add a student to a Moodle course.
Thus, you can cross-check whether the student you added to the Moodle course is taken place or not.
I need to enroll a new student into my course, but--after an hour or so of trying--I am unable to do so. Where's the magic button?
Choose the course, ensuring you are logged in with rights, find the course admin menu, Choose Assign roles, Choose Participant, then add the participants to the course.
I tried following the directions you gave, but maybe they're too old. I still can't enroll others to my new course.
Make sure you have all the correct enrollment methods selected (make sure the eye icon is open and the enrollment method is not ghosted) at Course administration / Users / Enrolment methods.
I am extremely frustrated. I have tried following the instructions posted but I am not getting the same thing as described. It is just not working! I have tried manual and self enroll but not getting anywhere at all. Plus I downloaded the Teach with Moodle but how in the heck do you get it loaded?
Don't be frustrated There must be a step you are missing somewhere.
Yes - Pieter is correct. Also - -please look through the documentation on Authentication and Enrolment.
Updated on December 14, 2020 by Alyssa Kordek. 1 Minute, 5 Seconds to Read. In order for a student to access the Moodle Courses, the users will need to be added to the Course. This is called Enrolling them into the course. Once the User Accounts and Permissions are set up in the system, the Moodle administrator can enrol them into the course.
Note! Moodle uses the British spelling spelling of Enrol. The US english spelling is Enroll.
