Students

The students section, in course administration, allows tutors to manually enrol and/or unenrol students independently of the global enrolment method. This can allow you to manually control your enrolments or to fine tune enrolments linked to external systems (e.g. MIS).

You will see two fields separated by two arrows (left/right). The left field lists enrolled students to your course and the right one contains the names of all potential students (i.e. students that the system already has registered). If the course is a metacourse then the page changes from listing/searching for students, to listing/searching for courses.

To add a student to the course, find their name in the field on the right, highlight it and click on the left-facing arrow, which will transfer the student to the left field (you can also type in the student’s name in the "Search" field if there are too many students to list).

To unenrol a student from your course, you should repeat the above procedure but this time transferring the student from the left field to the right one (using the right-facing arrow). The student should move from the "Enrolled students" column to the "Potential students" column.

If internal enrolments are allowed (i.e. students can self-enrol) you will find a note saying that students themselves can enrol to your course. If you have set an enrolment key then giving them the enrolment key might spare you ever checking this page. Still, you can enrol/unenroll students manually without giving them the enrolment key.
