How to set different enrollment open dates
Table of Contents
Description
Scenario 1:
How do I make a Course Offering open for enrollment on a different date, instead of following the Term (semester)?
or
How do I make a Session open for enrollment on a different date, instead of following the Course Offering?
Scenario 2:
How do I make a Course Offering or Session open only for one batch or cohort of students to enroll at a time?
For example, I want this Course to be open for enrollment only for senior students at first, before juniors and freshman can enroll (later).
Resolution
Scenario 1:
The structure for a Term (semester), Course Offering, and Session are as follows:
- Term.
- Course Offering.
- Session.
- Course Offering.
This means that you can define a different enrollment open date for Course Offerings and Sessions, without having to follow the date set at the parent record above it.
For more information and use case examples, see: Enrollment Open Date.
Scenario 2:
Cohort Enrollment allows you to open enrollment for a Course Offering or Session at different times for different batches of students (i.e. senior, freshman).
For more information and use case examples, see: Cohort Enrollment.
