# Join a course

> Enrol in the courses you’re eligible for, or join one with the entry code your lecturer shared.

There are two ways to join a course. You can tick it in your list of courses, or enter the code your lecturer gave
you. Either way, you're in straight away. Nobody has to approve it.

To start, choose **Enrol** on the **Courses** page, or **Enrol Course** in the sidebar.

## From your list

Lena lists the courses that are open to your faculty, department and level (or your grade and arm).

**1. Tick the courses you want**

Tick each course you want to join. A bar at the bottom shows how many you've picked.

Courses you’re eligible for, ready to tick.

**2. Enrol**

Choose **Enrol** in the bar, then **Enrol** again to confirm. Lena takes you back to **Courses**, and your new
courses are there.

## With a code

An entry code looks like `LN-2026-11-QFYVRHNNF`. Your lecturer shares it in class, on the board or in a message. A code
gets you into the course even if it isn't on your list.

**1. Choose Enter code**

On the **Enrol** page, choose **Enter code**. (Or, under "Can't find your course?", choose **Enter a code instead**.)

**2. Enter the code and find the course**

Type or paste the code in **Class or entry code**, then choose **Find course**.

**3. Check it’s the right one, then enrol**

Lena shows the course's title, code, lecturer and term. If it's the right course, choose **Enrol**. If not, choose
**Try another**.

Check the course before you join it.

When you're in, the course is on your **Courses** list.

Enrolled from a phone: the course shows up on Courses.

## Leaving a course

Open the course and choose **Unenrol**. Or, in **Courses**, choose **⋮** on the course's row, then **Unenrol**. To leave
several at once, tick them on the **Current** tab and choose **Unenrol** in the bar.

Lena asks you to confirm. After you leave, you can't open the course's materials or see its updates. You can join again
later with the entry code.

## Good to know

* **"Not accepting"** next to a course means it's closed to new students for now. You can't tick it, and its code won't
  work either. Ask your lecturer.
* **Past courses** (ones that have ended, or that you've left) are on the **Past** tab of **Courses**.
* **K-12 schools** say "subject" for course and "teacher" for lecturer.

## Troubleshooting

> [accordion] “No eligible courses”
>
> There are no courses for your place in the school yet. Your lecturer may not have published the course yet. Or your
> faculty, department or level may be wrong: check **Settings** → **School**. You can also ask your lecturer for the
> entry code and use **Enter code**.

> [accordion] “We couldn’t find a course for that code.”
>
> Check the code letter by letter, including the dashes. Codes are easy to mistype, so copy and paste it if you can.

> [accordion] “This course isn’t accepting new students right now.”
>
> Your lecturer has closed enrolment for the course. Ask them when it will open.

> [accordion] “Couldn’t enrol in this course. Please try again.”
>
> Check your internet connection and try again.
