Manage student enrollment

You can manage how students are enrolled into your class by deciding whether they can self-enroll (using a class search or Class Link) or require an instructor (or an administrator) to enroll them.

Managing student enrollment is performed from the Class Details pane while creating or editing a class.

NOTE: A user that self-enrolls is automatically assigned the default class role that's defined for your class.

The Who can self-enroll into this class? setting is a required field in the Class Details pane:

• Select the radio button to define how users are able to enroll into your class.

• Choose from:

• All students — Any user from your organization can self-enroll using a class search or the Class Link if it's been provided.
• Students with Class Link — Only users that have received the Class Link will be able to self-enroll into the class.
• Instructors must enroll students — Users can't self-enroll into the class and must be enrolled by an instructor (or administrator).

NOTE: When a student searches for a class to enroll in, your class will appear only if the All students option is selected. Check out Enroll in a class for more details on how students would enroll with this option.

IMPORTANT: In general, the Default Role In Class for a class is set to student. A user with a system role with privileges equal to or less than the default class role will become automatically enrolled into your class with the default class role if they use your Class Link to access your class (Example — a user with the student system role will be enrolled in the class as a student if student is the default role).

IMPORTANT: If your Class Link is used by a user with a system role with higher privileges than the default class role of your class, the user won't become enrolled (Example — a user with the instructor system role won't be enrolled in the class as a student if student is the default role). That user can instead self-enroll (regardless of their system role) by performing a class search for self-enrollment.
