Student Role not Being Assigned Upon Enrolment

Student Role not Being Assigned Upon Enrolment

We offer new courses in fits and starts throughout the year.

Recently we discovered that students are successfully being enrolled in courses but are not being assigned the student role - which is set as the default in manual enrolment.

Oddly enough, they are able to access courses and view presentations, but they cannot view quizzes until we manually assign the "student" role, at which time the quizzes show up.

We were using Moodle 3.6.2 but I cannot remember if we ever actually enrolled any students while using this version. To rule out a version issue, I just successfully upgraded to 3.8.2 - but the same issue persists.

Does any of the above ring a bell for someone? I've exhausted what I know to try or look at.

Thanks,

Tim

Hi Tim,

What enrolment method are you using to enrol students into courses? Sorry if it sounds obvious but have you checked that student is set as default assigned role there?

Hi Helen,

I've checked and double-checked that a couple of times to make sure. The default enrolment method is set with student as the default assigned role.

And the thing that confuses is me is that other parts of the course (such as presentions) can still be viewed by the enrolled student without the role.
