Hi, I'm a new Moodle user, and I have a question about enrollment duration.
I have a specific class that has an enrollment duration for x number of days. The problem is after that day comes, the student remains enrolled in the course, and can still log in. It even shows on their profiles that their enrollment expires on a certain date.
Please help

Re: Enrollment duration not kicking students out
Are the students only enrolled in that particular course? They haven't been assigned the role of student globally via site admin>users>permissions>assign system roles have they? Or else can you check your default user the above >user policies is authenticated user and not student?
Re: Enrollment duration not kicking students out
Thanks for your response.
Yes, the student is only enrolled in one particular course, and are assigned as a student in that course. My global settings have the default role for all users as "authenticated user," and default role for users in a course as "student."

Re: Enrollment duration not kicking students out
and what about in the category where the course is? Are they perhaps assigned there? And is your course open to guests?
Re: Enrollment duration not kicking students out
Yes they are assigned as student in the course itself. The course is not open to guests.
Re: Enrollment duration not kicking students out
The enrollment plugin I am using is "internal enrollment" + Paypal. The method of authentication I am using is E-mail based self-registration.

Did you check the cron job is working?
Re: Enrollment duration not kicking students out
I'm not quite sure how to check this, I'll check moodle docs. Again I'm a new user who is learning on the fly. Not sure how many people have the same problem, but it seems like auto-unenrolling students when their duration expires should be a non-issue. It's becoming particularly frustrating because everything else seems to be working fine.
Re: Enrollment duration not kicking students out
I ran the cron.php directly from my browser and it successfully ran tasks that weren't working (I.E : auto course back-up, unenrolling expired students etc). I am now looking for a way to run the script automatically and regularly, thanks for the tip!
Re: Enrollment duration not kicking students out
The cron fixed this for you? I'm having the a similar problem, and our cron is running.
So far, this is when I manually enroll a student and assign the enrollment duration there, they do not get automatically removed. I have tried to use this for "trial" access to a course.
I don't know about the other/regular students, though, because our courses by default have a 1 year enrollment, and none of them have run out yet. But, I wonder about that...

Re: Enrollment duration not kicking students out
I have enrollment duration set in the course settings so every student has that duration from the day they enroll. I'm also using e-mail based registration so that students can enroll themselves and get confirmation e-mails. I had a problem of students not getting confirmation, which I resolved, but it seems as though when I started running those cron jobs, confirmation stopped working again.
Re: Enrollment duration not kicking students out
I don't think that automatic unenrollment applies to manual enrollments. Students have to enroll themselves.
Re: Enrollment duration not kicking students out
Well, there's a drop down at the top of the "Assign Roles" screen that allows setting the Enrollment Duration. If those were infinite, then I don't know why that option is there.
Oddly, the one I had enrolled for a given period was removed when I just checked. But it wasn't after the number of days I thought. Perhaps it adds a grace period? Or maybe I did something wrong.
If I figure this out definitively, I will post back.

Re: Enrollment duration not kicking students out
Hallo,
Can you tell me if I can apply that to site users in any way ? Because when Students get "kicked out" of a course, they still figure in the users' list.
Or do we have to delete them manually, finding out who is who (I cannot see directly if the user is enrolled in any course) ?
Thanks for the help,
Ulrike
PS I know this is not the discussion, but if anybody knows how to avoid that people register for the site without enrolling any course....
Re: Enrollment duration not kicking students out
Hello,
Enrolment duration seems to be working correctly for me at the course level. However, I have set an enrolment duration for an 'examinee' role for access to a quiz, but the student is not removed even after running cron.
Most discussions and documentation seem to be concerning enrolment duration at the course level. Can anyone help with getting this feature to work when setting enrolment duration within an activity such as a quiz?
Thanks,
Steve
Re: Enrollment duration not kicking students out
Hi Mark,
I am facing a similar problem to yours and it is very frustrating. I set the enrollment duration to 2 days and created a student account to test it. At the end of the enrollment duration, I can still log in and see the lesson. I am only using the internal enrollment plugin with moodle 1.9.6 (Build: 20091021). I am a new user and I hope you can share with me what you did to solve it or anyone with a clue as to what the cause of the problem is. The default role of users are student. Thanks.
Richard.

Try run the cron job. Login as an admin and go to the notifications. Here is the direct link.

Re: Enrollment duration not kicking students out
This the sql that checks who to unenrol:
SELECT ra.roleid, ra.userid, ra.contextid
FROM m_course c
INNER JOIN m_context cx ON cx.instanceid = c.id
INNER JOIN m_role_assignments ra ON ra.contextid = cx.id
WHERE cx.contextlevel = '50'
AND ra.timeend > 0
AND ra.timeend < '1305815055'
AND c.enrolperiod > 0
If the course setting for enrolment duration is 'unlimited' then the value is 0 and nobody will ever be unenroled.
