THIS IS AN MUA PROJECT PROPOSAL THAT WILL BE OR HAS BEEN SUBMITTED FOR POSSIBLE MUA FUNDING.  ANY EXISTING TRACKER ITEMS THAT THIS MIGHT DUPLICATE SHOULD BE LINKED TO BELOW.  

Overview

Currently maximum enrollment is set at the enrollment method instead of at the course level.  This is very dysfunctional in any course that allows multiple enrollment methods as you have to manually go in and adjust them to allow for capping total enrollment.  For example, if you have a course with self enrolment for a certain cohort and paypal enrollment, there is no way to set a cap on total students in the class.  

Summary

• Project size: small
• Audience: primary schools, universities, work places
• Target users: teachers, students, administrators

Goals

To allow maximum enrollment to be set at the course level...

User Stories 

User stories should be specific to each requirement and provide a clear view of what you want the improvement/new feature to accomplish.

As a student, I should be able to only enroll in a class if the maximum number has not been reached, regardless of enrollment method.

As an admin, I should be able to access a site wide setting that allows me to limit enrollment maximums to the course level by default.  An option should also be added to allow admin/teachers to select which enrollment methods are included in the maximum enrollment number and which roles.
