5. Click on the field entry area or the grey pencil icon, found to the right of the field.
6. To see the characters as you type, click on the grey "eyeball" icon, found to the right of the field.
7. Ensure that the Allow new enrolments field is set to Yes.
8. Enter an enrolment key in the Enrolment key field.
9. If you want a welcome message to be sent to students at the email provided in their Moodle profiles, click on the Send course welcome message and enter your short message in the Custom welcome message box.
