Enrollments: manage enrollment requests from learners


Intended Audience:  Administrators, Managers 

Summary

Enrollment requests let managers and admins view, approve or reject enrollments by learners.

By default, learners can enroll themselves on courses in your catalog. You can change the default, to enable manager or admin approval for self-enrollments.

Permissions to manage enrollment requests: admins and managers

Admins with access to portal settings can turn on Enrollment Requests.

Admins can view, approve or reject enrollment requests without restrictions.

For managers to enroll learners and groups:

·        the managers' permissions must include Can enroll learners on courses

·        the group permissions must allow managers to approve enrollments

·        the course's Additional Settings must allow managers to enroll learners 

Tip: The term manager in Safety Made Simple applies to a user who manages a group within the portal. These users have specific permissions associated with the group they manage. The manager user type is not inherently linked to management roles within your organization. 

Enrollment requests let managers and admins choose who to enroll first: for example, let learners who have mandatory training requirements enroll ahead of other learners.
