Course enrollment and waitlist

You can control how, when, and how many learners can enroll in courses. Course managers can manage the course enrollment list and waitlist.

Enrollment settings

Instructors and site admins can edit these enrollment settings for each course.

Require enrollment requests or allow self-enrollment

A course can be set up in one of two ways:

• Require enrollment requests. Managers are required to enroll learners so that they can take the course.

• Allow self-enrollment. Learners can enroll themselves and start the course.

In the Course Info tab, under Rules, toggle Require enrollment requests on or off.

Enrollment capacity and waitlist

You can set an enrollment capacity. Any learners enrolled past that number are added to a waitlist. When someone is unenrolled, the learner at the top of the waitlist is automatically moved to the enrolled list.

In the Course Info tab, under Enrollment Capacity, type a number. If you leave it at 0, there is no maximum capacity.

Enrollment period

You can lock the course so that learners can only enroll or be enrolled within a certain time period. Outside of the enrollment period, learners cannot be enrolled, unenrolled, added to the waitlist, or removed from the waitlist.

In the Course Info tab, under Dates, set these two dates:

• Open Enrollment Date: When learners can start being enrolled.

• Close Enrollment Date: When learners can no longer be enrolled. If you don't want enrollment to end, make this the same as the End Date.
