  The link to the course information in StudyGuide is visible to students at the "about this course" section at the course footer, also if the General section summary is empty (so you did not add text like description, etc.), the link is shown in the General section as well. The link also publicly available in the course summary (outside the course).
  
  
  
• Welcome message for enrolling students - new function in the redesigned "Access control" menu
  
  If you enable this function in the course, the newly enrolling students will receive an automatic welcome message regardless of the method (manually assigned, SITS registration, self-enrolment). You can supplement the email template. 
  This can be used for example during registration periods, if you send a message from the Main course forum, you can enable this function and copy the message here as well so late registering students gets the information as an email immediately.
