Summary

If a Moodle course does not show up for a student, either the student is not enrolled in the Moodle course or the course is still set to hidden in the course settings.

Moodle Enrollment

Moodle syncs enrollment with Banner each night. If a student registers for a course in Banner, the student should be enrolled in the Moodle course the next day. Please reach out to Moodle support if there are any issues with not being enrolled.

Course Set to Hidden (More Likely)

Every Moodle course upon creation is set to hidden from students until the faculty mark it visible. This allows the faculty to work on the course and have the course ready for the students before students can access it.

Students, if the course is not visible 2 weeks before the course is set to start, please reach out to the faculty. While Moodle Administrators can make the course visible, we want faculty to have the course ready before making it available.

Faculty, to make the course visible:

  1. Open your Moodle course
  2. Click the gear icon in the top right and choose Edit Settings
  3. Set Course Visibility to Show.
