Require Approval for Student Registration

Require approval for student registration to stop students from automatically joining a roster after a certain date. After your chosen end date, the teacher will receive an email notification if a student tries to join their course and can approve or deny their request.

Requiring registration approval deters cheating from students with duplicate accounts. If your course uses self-registration and does not require registration approval, some students may try to cheat by enrolling a fake account in your course to access assignments before taking them under their real name.

Find the course you want to edit.
