Self-enrolment allows a student to
sign up for a module using a "secret URL" or
code that you provide for them. This can be
particularly useful for module electives where
students may decide whether they
will take the elective for the semester.
To enable self-enrolment in an elective
module, complete the following
steps:
- In your module navigation, click Settings.
- Click on the Module Details tab
and at
the bottom of the page
click More
Options.
- Enable self-enrolment by selecting
the Let students self-enroll
by sharing
with them a secret
URL checkbox.
- Click Update module details to
save your settings.
- Copy and share the provided secret
URL.
View the following video for a
walkthrough of the steps.
How does a student un-enrol from
a module?
If a student decides not to take a
particular module as an elective they can
"drop" the module. To do this, they can
click
into the module in Canvas and click Drop
this Module in the
sidebar.
Note: Students can only drop
a self-enroled Canvas
module while it is in progress (between
the course start date and end
date). Also, if the student did not
enrol in the course using the given secret
URL or
join code, i.e. they were manually or
automatically added to the
module from Banner, they cannot remove
themselves
from the module.
