Remove manually enrolled studentsManually enrolment has no effect on student accessibility to Unitec Moodle. Student enrollment is controlled by PeopleSoft only. As an Editing Teacher role, you can manually enrol a user, it looks fine from your teacher’s view. But, it only works for Staff. Even a student's name appears in your participant list, they still can’t access your course, because their account is not activated yet. Even worse, the inactivated manually enrolled account will cause unpredict issues which will incur complaints to Unitec. Please remove all manually enrolled students to avoid any further issues. |

Why am I not getting emails from Moodle?If you are a teacher, but your Moodle profile email is not the one you are using now, then you should change it to the right one. If you are a student, our Moodle updates your profile every day according to your Unitec Student Portal data. you should NOT change your email in Moodle, because of the change will be overwritten by PeopleSoft overnight. So please change your email here: https://myportal.unitec.ac.nz/welcome, then wait for the next day to see your Moodle email updated. If it is the right email but you didn’t get any email from Moodle, they might land into your Junk mails or Spam folder. Follow the link below to the guide of how to tame Gmail. Hotmail and other Email Apps should be similar. https://moodle.unitec.ac.nz/mod/glossary/showentry.php?eid=595Another possibility (unlikely) is that you had turned off the Moodle notification at some stage.
