Course completion is a new feature in Moodle 2.0 onwards that allows for a course to be officially marked as finished, either manually or automatically according to specified criteria.
Course completion shows if a course has been completed. It can show the progress a student is making towards finishing the course according to specific criteria.  The criteria can include meeting an activity's grade level or a manual checking "complete" by either the student and/or teacher.  The report can also show if the student has completed another course(s) that is marked as a "completion dependent" course.  


To enable course completion, first ensure that
Course completion does not have a "restrict access" function. It is best thought of as a report. 
# in ''Site Administration > [[Advanced features]]'', completion tracking is checked
# in the settings of your course, ensure that completion tracking is enabled and that the box "completion tracking begins on enrolment" is checked

==Manual Course Completion by the student==
[[Image:Selfcompletionblock.png|thumb|Self completion block]]To allow a student to decide for themselves when they have completed a course, there are two requirements:
* in the [[Course completion tracking|completion tracking settings link]] the setting Manual Self Completion must be enabled
* the Self Completion block must be added to the course.
The student may then click the "complete course link" in the block.
They are then asked to confirm they have completed the course and the course status will change to "complete" after the next cron job- explanatory screenshot here:

==Manual Course Completion by the teacher==
In order for a teacher (or non editing teacher, Manager or other role) to mark a course as complete, the appropriate box in the ''Manual Completion by''.. section must be checked in the [[Course completion tracking|completion tracking settings link]]
The teacher then accesses the [[Course completion status block]] and checks the names of the students who are deemed to have completed the course. After the next cron job the course will be marked complete -see screenshot:
==Course Completion based on specified criteria==
It is possible to have a course marked as complete dependent on a combination of specified criteria such as activities completed, grade achieved or length of time spent in the course. This is decided in the ''overall criteria type aggregation''
The settings for automatic course completion are described in more detail in [[Course_completion_tracking_settings]]and comprise:
*activities completed
*date
*duration after enrolment
*grade
*unenrolment
==Viewing Course Completion==
To view course completion you must enable the [[Course completion status block]].
In order for a course to be marked complete the conditions must be met. Once the cron.php script is run again any enrolled student who has completed the conditions for completion will be marked complete for the course.

Course completion shows if a course has been completed. It can show the progress a student is making towards finishing the course according to specific criteria. The criteria can include meeting an activity's grade level or a manual checking "complete" by either the student and/or teacher. The report can also show if the student has completed another course(s) that is marked as a "completion dependent" course.

Course completion does not have a "restrict access" function. It is best thought of as a report.
