Enrollment Requirements#
Learners can enroll themselves in a course during its defined enrollment period.
The course creator and course team members with the Staff and Admin roles can enroll learners in a course. These course team members can also unenroll learners.
Data about course enrollment is available in the LMS, by selecting Instructor to access the instructor dashboard. For more information, see Report Learners Not Yet Enrolled.
Registration and Enrollment#
Before a learner can enroll in a course, he or she must complete these steps.
Register a user account, which includes supplying a valid email address, on
www.edx.org
,edge.edx.org
, or your implementation of the edX platform. Each platform requires a separate user account.Activate the registered account by following the emailed instructions.
As long as the course enrollment end date has not passed, learners who
have registered and activated user accounts can enroll themselves in
www.edx.org
courses, or can enroll in other courses if they know the URL.
Course creators, Admins, and Staff, however, can enroll learners in a course either before or after the learners register their user accounts.
Important
Course team members are not automatically enrolled in courses, although they can access content in Studio, and the LMS. To work on a course, every course team member must register, activate a user account, and enroll in the course.
