Student enrollment and Add/drop behaviors in CCLE/Moodle

In the CCLE Moodle why do students who have dropped the class still receive email announcements?

Currently (Fall 2007) the CCLE Moodle student enrollments are only checked when they log in. So, if a student drops the class, but doesn’t login to the CCLE Moodle site anymore, their drop isn’t communicated to Moodle and they continue receiving email announcements. Obviously this isn’t ideal, and we are working on a better system.

In the meantime, just tell the students to log into http://ccle.ucla.edu and then they’ll see that they no longer have access to the class website, and their emails will stop. Or, tell cclehelp@ucla.edu and someone with admin privileges can use the Assign Roles tool to remove them.

Are waitlisted students given access to CCLE course sites?

This needs to be confirmed by watching behavior in the beginning of Winter 2008, but as of Dec. 2007 waitlisted students should be given access to the course sites for which they’re waitlisted.

The technical explanation: The cclerosters.php download script uses this stored procedure CIS_facultyCourseStudentsGetAlpha2 and its documentation here http://www.sscnet.ucla.edu/consortium/index.pl?ClassRosterOnDemand says that among other things, it returns a one-character Status field, which includes Wait List as one option.

Regular Students — UNEX Students
E: Enrolled — P: Pending
D: Dropped — A: Approved
W: Wait List — C: Cancelled
H: Held

The only students our script drops are C and D for Cancelled Extension Students and Dropped Students. W (waitlisted) are not dropped.
