Moodle Teachers – How to Enroll Students in Course based on profile field

As an open-source learning management system, Moodle has become the world’s most popular LMS for educators and institutions seeking a flexible, interactive, and user-friendly online learning environment. In this post we will discuss how you can enroll the users in Moodle course depending on the values stored in their custom profile field.

The Moodle plugin – Enrol by user profile fields, allows you to enroll the students based on the custom profile fields value. This can make your life easier as a teacher or Moodle administrator by easily enrolling users in Moodle courses.

You need to make sure to create custom profile fields before using this plugin. You can create custom profile fields from Site Administration > Users > User Profile Fields.

Then, you can download the Enrol by User Profile fields plugin from the official plugins repository here. Once installed you can configure the plugin to use the custom profile fields you want to use. You can also configure the enrollment role for the users and the action to be taken once the user is not having the field value in their user profile field.

You need to make sure to enable the enrollment method from Site Admin > Plugins > Enrollment > Manage Enrol plugins. Once you have enabled the enrollment method then you can go to any course and add the enrollment method. You can configure matching conditions if you are using many custom profile fields.

Overall it seems a pretty useful plugin to automate the enrollment process depending on the custom profile fields value stored in their user profile fields.
