Guest Access to Moodle Courses during Registration
by Jennifer Spohrer - For Faculty:
The Enable guest access option in Moodle moved during the last update, but it is still available. It is disabled by default, but Teachers can enable it during pre-registration and shopping periods to allow students who have not yet enrolled to view the syllabus and other posted materials. Guests cannot participate in course activities.
To control guest access:
- Click on the Participants link in the left hand sidebar.
- Click on the gear icon (Actions menu), and select Enrollment methods.
- Click on the eye icon under Guest access to toggle this option on and off; a slash through the icon indicates it is disabled.
For Students:
Looking for a guest-accessible course? Search for elements of the course name or number in the Course Search box on your Dashboard. Guest accessible courses will have an open padlock next to the title.
