What is it?
Bulk enrolments allows you to enrol students and add them to groups in a Moodle course using an excel file containing the students' UCL email address or userid.
...
You will require an excel file containing a complete list of the students' email address or userids in the first column. Subsequent columns contain the names of any groups you want to add each student to.
How do I use it?
Create your CSV
In order to upload your students successfully, you will need to create a CSV file with the students details. CSVs are simple to create - one way is in a spreadsheet package, making sure to save it as a .csv file-type.
At minimum, your CSV file should contain one column for the main student identifier, usually their UCL email address but it can also be their UCL userid.
Ensure you have column labels - this is because Moodle anticipates these and so ignores the first row of CSV file. In other words, don't put any actual student data in your file's top row. If you are using Email then put 'email', if you are using user IDs then put 'userid'
If you want to enrol the students into Groups, include a second column which gives the group name for each student. Be careful to type these exactly. Give it a column heading 'group'.
