Auto Enrollment Program Setting
Summary
A program-level setting to auto-enroll students in all courses upon enrollment in a program is added to Catalog.
Notes:
- Existing programs retain the current setting (Off).
- Newly created programs have this setting activated by default (On).
Change Benefit
This update provides immediate access to learning materials. The result is less confusion for students and a substantial decrease in support requests concerning missing courses. This supports institutional goals for a highly reliable and consistent enrollment experience.
Feature Workflow
Existing programs retain the current setting (Off). Admins enable the auto-enrollment setting by editing and updating the program.
Open the program to edit, and click the Edit button.
Click the Requirements tab.
Click the Auto-enroll students in courses when they enroll in this program toggle to On.
All required courses within that program automatically display in the student's dashboard immediately upon successful program enrollment.
