Restricting student access

Restricting student access

I plan to launch courses that will be open to the public. Hence, after registering with Moodle, they choose the courses that they wish to take up. I would like to limit their access to a course for a limited period, say 1 year, while the course will be open always. How do I handle this please?


One option I see is to define Groups and restrict Group access. This calls for assigning a user to the relevant group. To automatically make this happen, I might need to modify the code which I do not want to do.


Is there a better way than this?

Hi Rameshwar, 

Go to Administration > Course administration > users > enrollment methods. 

Click the cog wheel next to "self enrollment":

cog next to self enrollment

Then look for "enrollment duration" and set to 365 days:

That should do it!
