Self-enrolment for students with Discover

Updated on

To give students the opportunity to self-enrol, you can make the course available via Discover. Discover is a tool within Brightspace that allows courses to be made available for self-enrolment.

The agreement is not to offer this option for courses created and linked through Osiris. For these courses, enrolment is handled through Osiris.

The example is shown in the image below.
