How to Create a Course and Approve the Course Roster Using Inventory

Step 1: Check Your Inventory

  1. Access Inventory:
    • Navigate to your left-hand dashboard and select "Inventory."


2. Review Materials Inventory:

  • Ensure you are on the "Materials Inventory" tab.

  • Check the available resources to confirm that the necessary materials for your students are in stock.

  • Look for a notification indicating if any materials are unavailable.

  • Verify that the "Payment Model" column states "Inventory" if you plan to purchase and distribute materials on behalf of your students.

Step 2: Create a Course

  1. Navigate to Courses:
    • Click on "Courses" in your left-hand dashboard.

2. Initiate New Course Creation:

  • Select "New Course."

3. Set Up Course Details:
  • Enter a course name or date that helps students easily identify the course.
  • Example: "CPT Fall 2025."
  • Specify the course duration (e.g., starting at the beginning of October and ending in December).

4. Select Course Resources:
  • Choose the resources to include in the course. For example, select "Yes" for the Patient Care Technician study guide and practice tests.
  • Set all other resources to "No."

5. Create the Course:
  • Click "Create Course" to finalize and make the course available for student enrollment.

Step 3: Approve the Roster

  1. Monitor Enrollment Requests:
    • Once students request enrollment or are invited, look for an icon on your course roster indicating pending admissions.

2. Check Inventory for Enrollment:
  • If there is insufficient inventory to grant access to requested resources, you will not be able to approve enrollments.

  • Click on the roster and navigate to "Pending Enrollments."

  • If the "Approve" button is grayed out, contact your NHA representative to purchase additional materials.

3. Approve Enrollment:
  • If there are no inventory issues, select the "Roster" for your course.
  • Go to the "Pending Enrollments" tab.
  • Approve or reject candidates as needed.
  • Upon approval, materials will be deducted from your institution's inventory and granted to the student.
4. Verify Enrollment:
  • Click on "Courses" and select the roster for your specific course.

  • Confirm that the student has moved to the "Currently Enrolled" tab and now has access to the learning resources.

By following these steps, you can efficiently create a course and manage student enrollments using your institution's inventory.
