Setting Up Student Self Enrolment with an Enrolment Key

Margarita Berezyanskaya

Last Update a month ago

For students who already have Avenue accounts, it is possible to have them enrol themselves into their new course. This gives them more autonomy and can result in less work for the teacher if there are many students to add to the new course. It requires more effort on the students' part, and may not be suitable for all groups of students.


1. Click Participants in the Navigation Drawer on the top left.



2. Click Enrolment methods in the Actions menu at the top right.



The Enrolment methods page appears.


3. Click the Enable icon next to Self enrolment (Student) in the Edit column.



Self enrolment (student) is active. The Enable icon changes to a Disable icon.

Note: At this point, any user on avenue.ca can enrol themselves into this course. Adding an enrolment key allows a teacher to keep the course private and secure.

4. Click the Edit icon next to Self enrolment (Student) in the Edit column.



The Self enrolment (student) page appears.


5. Type a word in the text box next to Enrolment key. This word will be the Enrolment key or password that students must enter to enrol themselves in the course.



Near the bottom of the Self enrolment settings page, the Send course welcome message menu is selected as From the course contact by default. When this is selected, students will be sent an email confirmation after they enrol themselves in the course. 
Note: Students will not receive a welcome message if No is selected from this drop-down menu. 



Teachers can customize a welcome message by entering text in the Custom welcome message text box or they can leave it blank and Moodle's default message will be used. 


6. Click the Save changes button to save these settings. 



Note: If you enable Self enrolment (student) and do not use an enrolment key, any student on the avenue.ca site can enrol in your course. 

Using an Enrolment key with students

Depending on the students' language skills, it may be better if teachers do this in a lab with students and demonstrate it using a projector.

Method 1 - Using the course URL

  1. Log in to avenue.ca.

  2. Navigate to your course home page.

  3. Copy the URL, e.g. https://avenue.ca/classroom/course/view.php?id=17

  4. Share the URL and Enrolment key with students using an email, a handout, by writing it on the board, etc.

    c. Type the enrolment key in the Enrolment key text box in the Self enrolment (student) section.

    d. Click the Enrol me button.
