Template:FAQ

How do I prevent users from enrolling themselves on courses?

Set an enrolment key in the course settings or set Course enrollable to No in the course settings. Note that neither method will prevent a non-interactive enrolment plugin (e.g., LDAP or External Database) from enrolling users if they are set up and the required conditions are met.

Why are users being unenrolled for no apparent reason?

Please check the following:

  • The longtimenosee variable in Site Administration > Server > Cleanup (or Administration > Configuration > Variables in Moodle 1.6) which specifies the time limit for which, if students haven't logged in, they are unenrolled from courses.
  • The Enrolment duration in the Course settings which unenrols students after the specified time has elapsed.

(See Unenrolment for a full list of what controls unenrolment.)

Why are all students enrolled in all courses?

If the default role for all users in Site Administration > Users > Permissions > User policies is set to student rather than authenticated user (the default setting), this will result in all students being enrolled in all courses.

Another possibility is that users are assigned the system role of student. Check Site Administration > Users > Permissions > Assign system roles and unassign users as necessary, then reassign them the role of student in the course context.

Why can't I select "External Database" from the enrolment plugins drop-down menu in the course settings?

Only interactive enrolment methods may be chosen in the course settings. Non-interactive enrolment plugins are set for the entire site in Site Administration > Enrolment. Please refer to the interactive enrolment section of Enrolment plugins.

How do I enable students to unenrol themselves from courses?

  1. Access Site Administration > Users > Permissions > Define roles.
  2. Click the edit icon opposite the student role.
  3. Change the moodle/role:unassignself capability from not set to allow.
  4. Click the "Save changes" button at the bottom of the page.

(See Unenrolment for instructions on how to enable students to unenrol themselves from a particular course.)

How do I prevent teachers from unenrolling themselves from their course by mistake?

  1. Access Site Administration > Users > Permissions > Define roles.
  2. Click the edit icon opposite the teacher role.
  3. Change the moodle/role:unassignself capability from allow to not set.
  4. Click the "Save changes" button at the bottom of the page.

How do I change the spelling of "enrol" to "enroll"?

Simply install the American English language pack (en_us) then choose it as the default language for the site.

Is there a way for lecturers to be notified when students enrol in a course?

No. Not without a hack.

When a student enrols using an enrolment key, they get a welcome e-mail message. Can a lecturer customise this at the course level?

Entering text for the message is described [here] But at the course level, not possible without a hack.
