Student Enrollment

This section outlines the various ways that students can be enrolled in a course, and how to approve students for courses where approval is required for students after enrollment.

Student Enrollment in a Course

Students can be enrolled in a course in three ways:

• They can be added from the administration, by the course administrator:
  1. Click on the Courses menu link. This can be accessed via the menu by going to Components --> ConnectLMS --> Courses, by selecting the Courses item from the ConnectLMS Dashboard or select the Courses tab.
  2. Click the name of the course that we want to add our students to.
  3. Click the "Enroll" button in the toolbar.
  4. Tick the box next to the names of the site users you wish to add as students for this course
  5. Click the "Enroll" button in the toolbar.
• A Course Teacher adds them through the frontend administration tools:
  1. Log in to the Joomla! site.
  2. Go the ConnectLMS section of the site.
  3. Select the course you wish to add the student to.
  4. Select the "Manage Course Students" link.
  5. Click the "Enroll" button.
  6. Tick the box next to the names of the site users you wish to add as students for this course.
  7. Click the "Enroll" button in the toolbar.
• Or the student Enrolls themselves. If your course requires approval, students will have to wait for a teacher / course administrator to approve their enrollment before they can access lessons and modules.

Please see the Subscription section for information on how to enable commercial courses that students must pay to enroll in.
