Enrollment & Access
How learners join your courses, and how you control what they can see and when it opens.
This section covers two related jobs: getting learners into your offerings, and controlling what they can see and when.
Enrollment is how a learner joins a course, learning path, or cohort. Access is everything that happens after — deciding who is allowed in, pacing content so it opens over time, and locking parts until earlier work is done.
What you can do
- Let learners enroll themselves, or enroll them yourself — one at a time or in bulk.
- Give a learner access to only part of an offering (for example, "Semester 1 only").
- Release content over time instead of all at once (drip scheduling).
- Lock a lesson until an earlier lesson is finished (prerequisites).
- Decide who is even eligible to see an offering or a specific item.

The four access controls, in one glance
Three controls decide availability, and a fourth marks work as done:
| Control | What it decides |
|---|---|
| Eligibility rules | Whether a learner can see content at all. |
| Drip scheduling | When content opens (and optionally closes). |
| Prerequisites | Whether earlier work must be finished first. |
| Completion rules | What counts as done — covered in Progress & Grading. |
