As part of our integration between Banner and Moodle, all students who are listed in Banner as being enrolled in a course are automatically added to the corresponding Moodle course. The student enrollment information is first sent over from Banner 28 days before the beginning of a semester. For Fall 2014, 28 days before the first day of classes falls on Wednesday, July 30.
During a Spring semester, all enrollments are sent over to Moodle on that initial day. During a Fall semester, however, only the enrollments for sophomores, juniors, and seniors (and graduate students) are sent over from Banner on that initial day and for the first three and a half weeks after that. Entering first-year undergraduates are not added to their Moodle courses until the morning of the Saturday before classes begin, when students first meet with their advisor to discuss their course enrollments. For FA2014, that initial Saturday falls on August 23.
After those initial dates, student enrollment information is synchronized between Banner and Moodle every morning at 6:30 AM. In other words, all students who are added to a course in Banner (via the Registrar’s Office) will be added to the corresponding Moodle course the following morning at 6:30 AM, and all students who are dropped from a course in Banner will be removed from Moodle version of the course the following morning as well.
