Moodle provides a number of ways of managing course enrolment, called enrolment plugins.

Setting the enrolment method(s)

To set an enrolment method:

Click on Administration > Site administration > Plugins > Enrolments > Manage enrol plugins.
Click on the enable checkboxes opposite your chosen enrolment plugin(s). If you wish, you may choose more than one enrolment method. For example if you have some courses which students must pay for and some free courses, you can use PayPal and self enrolment.
Click the "Save changes" button.
Click the settings link opposite the enrolment plugin(s) you have chosen.
Configure the required settings and click the "Save changes" button.
Repeat until you have edited all the plugins you have enabled.

The order in which enrolment plugins are applied can be set. This may be important for some plugins. It also affects the order of enrolment options on the course enrol page.

+Moodle provides a number of ways of managing course enrolment, called ''enrolment plugins''.
-There are several ways to manage course enrolments (or enrollments).  These are called '''Enrolment plugins''' in Moodle and include:

-:[[Authorize.net Payment Gateway]]
-:[[External database]]
-:[[Flat file]]
-:[[Internal enrolment]] (default)
-:[[IMS Enterprise]] (1.6)
-:[[LDAP enrolment|LDAP]]
-:[[Paypal]]
-:[[Enrolment/OSCommerce|OSCommerce]] (Not official)
-{{Moodle 1.6}}
+==Setting the enrolment method(s)==
-From Moodle 1.6 onwards,  multi-enrolment is supported, with one plugin set as the default plugin for interactive enrolment.
-There are two aspects to enrolment plugins:
+To set an enrolment method:
+#Click on ''Administration > Site administration > Plugins > Enrolments > Manage enrol plugins''.
+#Click on the ''enable'' checkboxes opposite your chosen enrolment plugin(s). If you wish, you may choose more than one enrolment method. For example if you have some courses which students must pay for and some free courses, you can use PayPal and self enrolment.
+#Click the "Save changes" button.
+#Click the settings link opposite the enrolment plugin(s) you have chosen.
+#Configure the required settings and click the "Save changes" button.
+#Repeat until you have edited all the plugins you have enabled.
-* Login-time enrolment lookups. These perform a lookup against an LDAP/AD,  database or SIS server. You can have several plugins set to perform login-time lookups.
+The order in which enrolment plugins are applied can be set. This may be important for some plugins. It also affects the order of enrolment options on the course enrol page.
-* Interactive enrolment. These trigger only when a user tries to join a course - and may ask for an enrolment key, a payment via PayPal, Google Checkout, or a credit card gateway.
-'''Unenrolment''' may be controlled by the following:
+==Enrolment capabilities==
-* The ''longtimenosee'' variable in Administration > Configuration > [[Variables]] (or Administration > Server > Cleanup in 1.8), which specifies the time limit for which, if students haven't logged in, they are unenrolled from courses.
-* The ''Enrolment duration'' in the [[Settings|course settings]], which unenrols students after the specified time has elapsed.
+Category enrolments:
-* Enrolment plugins may decide that the enrolment has expired; for example, if it is not present or current in an LDAP, Database or SIS server.
