Registration enrollment

This new (October, 2010) plugin allows you to setup a registration system within Moodle. Once installed, enabled, and selected as the enrollment method from within one or more courses, the plugin will allow you to create a registration system complete with the following features:

1. Enrollment period(s) - You can specify enrollment periods during which students meeting specific criteria are allowed to enroll in courses using the enrollment plugin. This is a site-wide setting. Note - You can only use one enrollment period at a time (i.e. you cannot create two periods that overlap in time)

2. Enrollment criteria - You can set the criteria that will determine whether or not a student is allowed to enroll in a course based upon user profile fields and their contents. You specify the field and the contents of the field. This is a site-wide setting but it can be overridden in each individual course.

3. Priority enrollment period(s) - You can specify a period of time, prior to the start of the enrollment period, during which students who meet specific criteria can enroll in a course. The criteria are set using profile fields and values of your choice. This is a site-wide setting and it can be overridden at the individual course level. Additionally, you may create multiple priority enrollment periods to be used simultaneously.

4. Course capacity - You can set the maximum number of students that will be allowed to enroll in a course. This is a site-wide setting that can be overridden at the individual course level. Students can, of course, still be enrolled in a course by the teacher or an administrator even after the maximum capacity has been met.

5. Allowed enrollments - You can set the maximum number of courses a student is allowed to enroll in during a given enrollment period. Note however, that this only applies to courses using the registration enrollment plugin.
