Enrolment is the process of assigning users to roles (usually student) in the context of a course. There are 3 types: self enrolment, manual enrolment and enrollment plugins.
Self enrolment
[Internal enrolment|self enrolment]] (sometimes called internal enrolment) is where any student can enrol themselves into a course. A course can ask an student trying to self enrol for an enrolment key.
Manual enrolment
A user can be manually added to a course. If you have not done so, first go to Settings > Course administration block > Edit settings > Users > Enrolment methods and add manual enrolment to the course. The Teacher or Administrator can use the Settings> Edit settings > Users >Enrolled users link top reach the "Enrolled users" page.

manually enrolled by assigned a role in the course. Administrators and Teachers use this method to assign students or non-editing teachers from the list of site users to a specific course.
Enrolment plugins
Enrolment plugins automate the enrolment process. Please see Enrolment plugins for more information. In general, they can use batch files or receive a verification outside of the course context, to enrol a student in a course. For example:
- There maybe a charge for a course and a student can be automatically enrolled after paying the required fee.
- The school has one non_Moodle database maintained by the registrar and the business office for enrolment of both on-line and classroom students that interfaces with Moodle.
- The trainer gives the site administrator a Flat file (text CSV file) of basic student information and the course(s) they should be enrolled in.
