Enroll a student¶
Add a student to a course — either an existing FlexWelder user or a brand-new one (who gets an activation email).
When to use¶
To enrol someone into a course from the central Students area. (You can also enrol from inside a course/edition's Students tab — see Course editions.)
Where¶
- Sidebar: Students → New Student
- URL:
/partner/students/new - Roles: Owner / Admin / Manager.
Step-by-step¶
- Open "New Student" (heading "Add Student").
- Pick the "Course *" (required) and, optionally, a "Practical subgroup".

- Choose a mode with the toggle: "Search existing" or "Create new student".
- Search existing: type ≥2 characters in "Search student by name or email", pick the person, then click "Enroll Student".
- Create new student: type the email. The field checks live:
- Already registered → an amber warning appears with "Switch to search" (use the existing account instead).
- Available → a green check + the note "a new account will be created" and an activation-email notice; fill
"First Name *", "Last Name", "Phone", then click "Create and enroll".

Fields & validation¶
| Field | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Course | yes | Enroll is disabled until a course is chosen. |
| Practical subgroup | no | Free text; for splitting practical groups. |
| Search (existing mode) | yes | Must select a user from the results. |
| Email (create mode) | yes | Must resolve to available (not already registered). |
| First Name (create mode) | yes | Required to create the account. |
| Last Name / Phone (create mode) | no | Optional. |
What happens / outcome¶
- Existing user: enrolled immediately — toast "Student enrolled" — and you return to the students list.
- New user: the account is created, the student is enrolled, and an activation email is sent — toast "Student created and enrolled. Activation email sent." The student stays "Pending activation" until they set a password.
Edge cases & errors¶
- Email already registered: you can't create a duplicate — switch to search and pick the existing person.
- Enrolling into a full edition (when enrolling from inside an edition) queues the student to the waitlist instead. See Course editions.
- Enrollment failures show a toast with the server message.

FAQ¶
- Will the new student get a login? Yes — an activation email lets them set a password.
- Can I enrol into a specific edition? From this page you pick the course; to target an edition, enrol from that edition's Students tab.
