KB1070 - How do I manually add (enrol) students or instructors into my Moodle course?

Manually adding (enrolling) Students or Teachers into a Moodle course
Note: Users may only enrol another user in a "lesser" role. Therefore someone in a Teacher role cannot assign the Teacher role (or Non-Editing Teacher role) to another user. Someone in a Manager role, such as a department leader or assistant can do so.

To enroll someone into one of your courses, 

1. click on the Participants page link in the Navigation Drawer (on the left side of your course page)
2. click on the [Enrol users] button, near the top-right of the Enrolled users page
3. IMPORTANT: use the Assign roles drop-down menu to chose the type of role you are about to assign*
4. in the search field, enter the name or portion of the name of the student or teacher and click on the [Search] button
5. find the name in the users found list (If you don't find it, try typing in something else. If you still can't find the name, read Knowledgebase article KB1118 for a potential solution.
6. IMPORTANT: If you see multiple instances of the same name, be sure to chose the correct one! If you see a teacher with a student email address (e.g., 000123456@student.vcc.ca), do NOT use that user. Look for the one with the employee email address (e.g, lastname@vcc.ca)
7. click on the [Enrol] button, to the right of the correct name.
8. continue to add any other users in this same way, and when you're finished, click on the [Finish enrolling users] button. You should then see the new name/s appear under the list of enrolled users.
