Warning

When you make a course available to guests, anyone on the Internet will be able to access your course. If this is an issue, see "Adding a guest password" below to limit access to the course.

Add a guest password

To add a password to guest access, go to the Participants Tab (under the course title)

  • In the pulldown menu labeled Enrolled Users → select Enrollment Methods

  • To the right of Guest Access select Gear Icon, enter a password → Save.  

Instructions for Guest Users

Follow the instructions above to allow guest access and optionally set a password. Email a copy the URL of the course and the guest password to your visitor or write the password on the board in class and ask non-enrolled students to browse through the Moodle course catalog to find your course.

Disable Guest Access

To remove the ability for guests to access your course:

  1. Go to the Participants Tab (under the course title)

  2. In the pulldown menu labeled Enrolled Users → select Enrollment Methods

Is Guest Access Enabled?

  1. On your Moodle course page, go to the Participants Tab (under the course title)

  2. In the pulldown menu labeled Enrolled Users → select Enrollment Methods

If Guest Access is in the list of Enrollment methods and it is not greyed out (the Eye icon does not have a slash through it), guest access is enabled. If Guest Access is not listed as an Enrollment method or if it is listed but the Eye Icon has a slash through it, Guest Access is not enabled.
