# How to Enrol a student in a Moodle course

In order for a student to access the Moodle Courses, the users will need to be added to the Course. This is called Enrolling them into the course. Once the [User Accounts and Permissions](/support/news/twitter-users/) are set up in the system, the Moodle administrator can enrol them into the course. The following article will explain how to enrol users into a Moodle 2.3 course.

**Note!** Moodle uses the British spelling spelling of Enrol. The US english spelling is Enroll.

### Enrolling users in Moodle Courses
