Manual Enrollment

You can manually enroll participants into the course using their NID or UCF ID. Using this enrollment method, participants will receive an email invitation to join the course. Participants must accept the invitation to gain access to the course.

---

PeopleSoft Program Identifier (Script Enrollment)

Using this enrollment method, participants will automatically be enrolled into the course based on a specified degree program, certificate program, and/or course. Specific course sections cannot be identified. This enrollment method is automatic and does not use course invitations. Participants will be given instant access to the course.

Enrollment Based on a Specific Degree/Certificate Program

To enroll participants based on a specific degree/certificate program, you’ll need the following information:

• Academic Group (usually the college)
• Academic Program
• Academic Plan
• Academic Sub-Plan (if applicable)

Enrollment Based on a Specific Course

Participants can be enrolled based on a specific course, such as ENC1101 or MAC1105C. You cannot specify individual course sections for this enrollment process. For example, if you want to use this enrollment method to enroll students from your ENC1101 section, all students in every ENC1101 section will be enrolled.

Enrollment via Custom URL

This enrollment method allows participants to enroll into your special programs course by navigating to specified URL. Participants can then accept access into the course.

---

Special Programs Enrollment Tool

The Special Programs Enrollment Tool allows faculty to directly enroll participants into their course. When using this method, participants will be given instant access and will not receive an email invitation to join the course.

This tool also allows you to conclude individual participant enrollments in the course. Once you conclude a participant’s enrollment, the course will go into a read-only state for the participant. They will be able to read all the course content; however, they will not be able to participate in any discussion, assignments, quizzes, or conferences.
