When a student tries to log in with the assigned User ID and Password he gets the "You can not enrol yourself in this course" error message.
How are the students supposed to get into the course and start reading the lessons? Any help much appreciated.
We are using Moddle 2.0
Could you give more details please? Do you have the self enrolment plugin enabled in your course and is the enrolment date set to the present day?
Mary, thanks for your response.
Self-enrollment is allowed. YES is selected for "Allow Self Enrollments" field in the Self Enrollment plugin.
"Enrolment Period" is set to default 0 (zero). There is no "Enrollment Date" field.
Actually, some users can log in and take the course without any problems at all. That's what's so puzzling about it. I cannot see the difference between those students who can get in and those who cannot since they seem to be configured just the same.
So I still need ideas to resolve this issue. Thanks.
Mary, GOOD NEWS! After hours of experimentation, I solved it by doing this:
(1) Log in to the Course as Admin.
(2) Go to SETTINGS > USERS > ENROLMENT METHODS group of controls. ENROLMENT METHODS table should display.
(3) In the EDIT column of that table, find the SELF ENROLMENT (Student) row and click the EYE ICON to "open its eye." Mine was closed.
Now when you try to log in as a Student, ENROLL ME button should display instead of an error message. WHen you click that button you should be in the classroom.
That did it for me. Thanks. Ugur
Thanks a lot Ugur, i had the same problem.
Hi Ugur/Mary,
I am running Moodle 2.05
I found ENROLMENT METHODS
I 'm still struggling with student enrolment. For instance, both students and the non-editing teacher can click on TURN EDITING ON in the upper right corner (when they're not suppose to) any suggestions?
Is there a simplified way to student enrolment?
Thanks all!
Thanks
I finally found a workaround fix for this self-enrollment bug after wasting hours on it.
What you need to do is to turn off Guest access entirely, then registered student can not self-enroll themselves. If Guest Access is enabled, self-enrollment is disabled for newly registered users.
This is crazy, but at least there is a workaroud for this bug.
Does this mean that if guest enrolment is disabled no one can self enrol and if it is enabled new users cannont enrol, how long is a user considered a "newly registered user"?
What would the work around to allow new users to self enrol in a course?
This error has only occured to me when there is an end date set on self registration, if you disable this then self registration will work for all users.
This seams a bug.
Look at
http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=166620
After many readings I think that I have a solution.
As an admin you have to
1) Enable self inscription plugin at site level
"Site administration / Plugins / Enrolments / Manage enrol plugins"
Self enrolment has to be enable (eye open)You can add instance to new course too if you like Allow self enrollment to YES
2) For any course you have create
Go to "Course administration" then to "Edit settings" and set "Allow guest access" to "No"
Then go to "Users" / "Enrolment method" and select "Self enrolment" (eye open)
Then edit "Self enrolment" (writing hand) ans set "Allow set ereollment" to YES
You can set a enrolment key too...
That's all.
Nota Bene : you can't get "self enrollment" and "Allow Guest access" at the same time. I think it is a bug...
I had the same problem, and after following the suggestions here, the "Enrol" button now appears, but I'm still running into an issue (Moodle 2.0).
Now when a student tries to enroll in a course, this error appears:
"Error: A required parameter (id) was missing."
What do you suppose I should do to fix this?
Thank you for any help you can offer me.
[Note: I am also using Joomdle (Joomla Integration)]
Hello everyone,
just for goodness sake~
If you have a course that is already completed:
there are also other options that only appear when editing the course~
Dominick Inglese, you sir are my hero!!! This was my issue too!!!
Thanks,
Vinny
YES! You have to click on the course to make it active. Then, and only then, will options appear under settings for "course administration"
then click "users" and then "enrolment methods" and make adjustments there!
thanks!
Hello Jean,
I had a similar problem like this and it worked when I tried your workaround.
But in my case I need to have guest access too so that users dont need to login everytime even to view the videos.
So have you found out any work around on the bug that you have mentioned in the Nota Bene ??
Thanks in advance
No, I have not found anything else.
But if all student users have yet been enrolled, why don't close "Self enrollment" for a while to let guest access to that course ?
Has this bug been reported? I have a course with self-enrollment that is having the same issue. A person can create a user account, they receive the email confirmation with the link, but when they login and try to enroll in the class they get the "You can not enrol yourself in this course". These are new users creating accounts after the course has been created and the only way I have found to enroll them is manually.
I need to have user account creation and enrollment to be all automatic. Since Nikki T mentioned this problem back in 4/11, how do I go about finding out whether it is being resolved? I'm new to the bug resolving end of Moodle.
Thanks for any help...
So I found what I needed to do to resolve my issue and so this is NOT a bug. After searching around the forums more, I found the following:
Have you got manual enrolment enabled and have you enabled self enrolment in each individual course as well? http://docs.moodle.org/22/en/Self_enrolment
Feel a little silly now since I know about enabling self-enrollment but forgot to do it in the course itself! Now all is well and self-enrollment is working!
Thanks Mary!
You're welcome
I'm wondering if you can assist me.
I'd like to change the text "you can not enrol yourself in this course" in the language pack.
Do you know which string I need to edit? I've tried amending the canntenrol string with no success.
Any assistance will be much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Keegan
I would to go Site administration>Language>Language customisation and then choose to show strings of enrol.php - if you search for "yourself" you will soon find the string which is core_enrol notenrollable. (Better to change locally as I have suggested here)
It has been brought to my attention that if the start or end date fields are used then students get the "You can not enrol yourself in this course". As soon as we uncheck these boxes, the students see the enrolment box and can enter the key.
We are running moodle 2.1.1, self enrolment & manual enrolment is enabled and there is an enrolment key set. Guest access is off.
Does anyone know if this is a known bug?
I'm having the same problem with F2F 2011120703
After reading all your posts.. and identifying your issues were basicly related to mine as well. I am using Moodle 2.4 with SQL 2008.
The query below updates the course to allow 'Self Enrollment' for the specific course. You will also need to know your course ID.
To get Course ID use;
SELECT *
FROM mdl_course
To get current Enrollments settings for all Courses;
SELECT *
FROM mdl_enrol
Using the data from the queries above, build your UPDATE query change the 'status' field in the 'mdl_enrol' to 0 (ZERO), to fix your Courses and allow them access to All the available Enrollment Methods.
Example (x = CourseID);
UPDATE mdl_enrol
SET status = '0'
WHERE courseid = 'x' AND enrol = 'self'
My courses are set up for manual enrollment only. Auto and Guest enrollment are not turned on.
Only one or two students were getting the error message "You can not enrol yourself in this course". All the other students were okay. The only commonality was that these students had taken the course the previous semester.
In the Course Administration/Users/Enrolment Methods/ I opened up the options (gear icon) and changed the Default enrolment duration from 90 days to 365 days.
That did the trick!
If using Self Enrolment you may also like to try:
Course Administration > Users >Enrolment Methods and select the spanner icon beside the name of your enrolment method.
There are two settings of concern:
Enable existing enrolments
If disabled all existing self enrolments are suspended and new users can not enrol.
Allow new enrolments
This setting determines whether a user can enrol into this course.
If the course is active you should ensure both are set to YES, especially if you have just set up the enrolment key.
Hope this helps.
James
