How to Enroll a Student in a Class

If a student is having problems enrolling in a class, you can use the Quick Enrollment link on the Academic tab of the Admin Center to address some of the issues.

Student's may come to you with questions such as – I can't enroll in a class because:

  • the pre-requisites are not met
  • I have a class conflict
  • there is a hold on my account

You can attempt to enroll the student in the class and may be able to override errors that would allow for successful enrollment.

If you look in the student's Shopping Cart before you start, you may be able to view the student’s unsuccessful attempts to enroll.
