You will also need to think through your logic of whether or not you want this hidden enrollment item being included in the student's grade book. If you don't want it included, make sure to exclude it, or put it into a zero point grade book category.
Thanks again for the help and thoroughness. Setting it to be excluded is an important step so it doesn't keep the grade from being calculated. While there is some manual involvement, I believe the solution will work. We have queries that will update user profile fields based on the enrollment points, and can be run periodically via the event scheduler.
Thanks
