Limited duration enrollments

If you want to enroll someone shopping your course but have them automatically removed if they don't register for your course, use the enrollment duration setting when enrolling a user.  After you click on the Enroll users button to open the Enroll Users pop-up window, click on Show more ... link and set the duration of the enrollment for 2 weeks (or whatever value you would like).

...

If the student registers for the course, they will be added via Banner and will remain enrolled after the enrollment duration expires.

Types of Roles

  • Students automatically added from Banner are set to the Registered Student role

  • Manually added students should have the Student role

  • Teacher is the role for the main instructor(s) of the course

  • Teaching Assistant can do everything a Teacher can, except remove the teacher

  • Course Builder can edit the course materials but not see grades

  • Grader can enter and modify grades but not edit course materials

  • Auditor has the same permissions as a student, but does not have a gradebook entry so can't participate in graded activities.

Additional Notes

  • You cannot remove students enrolled via Banner (Registered Student). The student must be removed via the Registrar's Office.

  • If you manually add a student and they are later added from Banner, you don't have to remove their manual enrollment.  It is okay to be both a "Student" and "Registered Student"
