There are a number of ways to enrol students on your Moodle courses, the method you use will depend on how your course is taught and the course codes you wish to enrol. This document will take you through the various enrolment methods.

Method 1 - Automatic enrolment via course settings

‌‌Automatic enrolment is the easiest way to ensure students are enrolled on Moodle 2 courses. This requires the course short name to be the same as the course code on MyCampus and the Course Catalogue. This automatically enrols anyone attached to the course on MyCampus. This setup would usually be performed when setting up the course for the first time on Moodle.

1. Click on Gear icon > Edit settings ‌
2. In Course short name enter the course id from the Course Catalogue
