What is Moodle Auto-enrolment
Auto-enrolment on Moodle is a process
whereby students who have successfully
completed their module selection and
registration through the Academic
Information System are then enrolled to
their selected modules on Moodle, where
these modules are eligible and setup to
receive auto-enrolments.
There are a number of reasons why
auto-enrolment may not be enabled:
- Multiple instances of a module may
exist, each of which accept
only a number of students. This can
sometimes be addressed by establishing
a single homepage page for the module
with linked branch pages;
- Insufficient information was
available or appropriate and matching
Module Codes and Names were not
configured to allow the setup of auto-enrolment;
- The Moodle page may not be a
teaching page and not have a
formal Module Code and Name;
- The Moodle page may combine
students who have registered for
different modules;
- The module may be delivered as part
of a first-year programme or
in circumstances where delayed
module elections apply.
How does auto-enrolment work
All students are required to Register
module selections through the College’s
Academic Information System. This
initiates their auto-enrolment:
- Once a student has successfully
completed their module Registration,
their module details are noted for
auto-enrolment;
- Overnight, these auto-enrolment
details are matched against eligible
auto-enrolment modules: where a match
exists, the student is automatically
enrolled by 8.30am the following working
morning.
What should I know
- If your module is eligible for
auto-enrolment, you will be
notified about this by email
at the start of semester or at the
point where auto-enrolment is
enabled.
- If you have multiple modules on
Moodle, you will receive an individual notification for
each auto-enrolment eligible
module.
- In all cases, the earliest point at
which a student will be enrolled to an
eligible module is by 8.30am on
the following working morning.
This may result in students being
enrolled over several days as they
proceed with their module
Registration.
- Auto-enrolment will not remove any
students from your
module.
- It should not be necessary to
circulate a Moodle Self-enrolment
Key to students for your
module unless advised specifically to
do so as this may result in duplicate
student enrolments.
- Students may be auto-enrolled to your
module/page even before you have made your page public. Note that students will not be able to see your page
until the following conditions are
met:
- The Course visibility is set to Show (how to do this), and
- The Course start date (and time) has passed, that is, the Course start date is earlier than today (or the time now) (to check this, refer to Point 6 here).
