Managing Course Enrollment

Once your course or section is created, you have a couple of options for determining how students are enrolled, depending on the procedures in place at your school.

• To allow selected students to self-enroll in your course, you can provide them with a customized URL or a PDF of instructions you can send via a printout, email, or included with your syllabus. CengageNOWv2 automatically generates a PDF instruction document and a unique course link when you create your course.

Students who are able to self-enroll are automatically provided a "try before you buy" trial period, which is based on the course start date, before they're required to purchase their course materials. See Setting Up Student Self-Enrollment for more details.

• To maintain the most selective control over enrollment and to add assistant instructors to your course sections, you can manually enroll them yourself from the Users page. See Manually Enrolling Users for details.
