Automatic enrolments (LSE IMS Messaging)
At the beginning of every academic year, most students and teachers are automatically enrolled via LSE IMS Messaging enrolment method.
This method automatically creates groups and cohorts, and enrols students and teachers based on the current timetable.
Category enrolments
Users can be enrolled at a Category level, meaning they will have access and permissions for all courses under that category.
Note: Contact Eden.Digital@lse.ac.uk if you would like us to enrol a user at a category level.
