==Manual completions==
Depending upon the settings, course completion can require that an activity or the entire course be manually marked as complete.  The settings will allow any number of combinations.  For example, an activity might require the student to receive a minimum score and have the non-editing teacher manually check complete.  Or merely require the student to check an activity or the course as complete. 
===Manual marking by student examples===
[[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 marking by teacher examples===
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:
[[Image:Coursecompletion.png]]
==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_settings]] and these include:
*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.  The cron.php script recompiles the course completion report based upon the conditions it finds.

Course completion shows a the progress a student is making towards finishing the course according to specific criteria. The criteria can include meeting an activities 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 recommended, pre-requisite course.

Course completion does not have a "restrict access" function, it is for information only.
