Unenrolment is the process of removing users from a course. It is controlled by one or more of the following:
- The enrolment duration, which suspends students after the specified time has elapsed, some plugins include option to unenrol users after enrolment expiration
- For self enrolment, the 'Unenrol inactive after' setting in Settings > Course administration > Users > Enrolment methods > Self enrolment can be set to specify a time after which a student is automatically unenrolled from a course if they haven't accessed it in that time
- An enrolment plugin may decide that the enrolment has expired, for example, a user name for a course is not present in an LDAP database, or if a Flat file is processed by Cron
In addition, users with the appropriate permission can unenrol themself from a course.
Enrolment duration
The default enrolment duration for manual enrolment can be set in Settings > Course administration > Users > Enrolment methods > Manual enrolment. It can be amended from the default value when enrolling users manually in Settings > Course administration > Users > Enrolled users.
The enrolment duration for self enrolment can be set in Settings > Course administration > Users > Enrolment methods > Self enrolment.
Bulk unenrolment
Users who were previously manually enrolled may be unenrolled in bulk via Settings > Course administraton > Users > Enrolment methods then clicking on the 'Enrol' users icon.
Unenrolment and user data
When a user is unenrolled, their grade history is not deleted. If a user is unenrolled accidentally, their grades can be restored by going to Settings > Course administration > Users > Enrolled users, clicking 'Enrol users' and making sure that the 'Recover user's old grades if possible' checkbox is ticked in the enrolment options before re-enrolling the user.
