5.4 How to enrol yourself for courses that do not belong to your official study programme
Sometimes you might want to enrol into courses that do not belong to your ISP:
• You are enrolled into a study programme that does not (yet) use the ISP application
• a professor teaches two similar courses, but uses only one Toledo course, and asks all students of the second course to enrol themselves into the used Toledo course
• You want to have a quick look at the content of a Toledo course, in order to choose between two courses.
Attention: Manually enrolling in Toledo DOES NOT SUBSTITUTE the administrative enrolment in the ISP application! It can only be used to enrol yourself for unofficial courses.
Log in to Toledo. Open the tab page 'My Toledo' and inside the module ‘Quick Links’, click on the link ‘Manage Toledo enrolments’. Next select the option ‘Enrol’ in the dropdown menu on the top right.
Use the search to look for a course. You can use the facets on the left to refine your search results. Once you have found the course, click on the button ‘Enrol’ to enrol yourself manually. By default all Toledo courses are open for manual enrolment through the enrolment module for staff and students.
However, instructors can close their courses and communities so that only students of the study programme the course belongs to, or sometimes even nobody, can enrol through the enrolment module. When you are not allowed to enrol, the enrol button will display the text ‘Closed’. If this is the case, contact the instructor and ask them if they want to enrol you.
5.5 How to unenrolled yourself for courses that do not belong (anymore) to your official study programme
When you unenrolled yourself from a course in the ISP application, you are AUTOMATICALLY unenrolled from the related Toledo course.
Courses without a cogwheel icon do not belong to your official study programme. You have either enrolled yourself for this courses through the ‘Enrolment module’, or a staff member has enrolled you manually. For all these courses, you can unenrolled yourself through the ‘Unenrolment module’. For official courses and communities (with a cogwheel) that are linked to your ISP, you can’t unroll yourself in Toledo by using the ‘Unenrolment module’.
Log in to Toledo. Open the tab page 'My Toledo' and inside the module ‘Quick Links’, click on the link ‘Manage Toledo enrolments’. Next select the option ‘Unenrol’ in the dropdown menu on the top right. Click on the button ‘Unenrol’ next to the course from which you want to be unenrolled.
