After you create a course, you can access the total number of people who are
enrolled in it. Note the following information about how this count is
computed.

* In addition to learners, the enrollment count includes all course team
members, including Admins and Staff. (To work with a course in Studio, the
LMS, or Insights, you must be enrolled in that course.)

* The enrollment count displays the number of currently enrolled learners and
course team members. It is not a historical count of everyone who has ever
enrolled in the course.

.. note:: Learners can unenroll from courses, and course Admins and Staff
can unenroll learners when necessary.

The total number of current enrollees is shown as the sum of the number of
people who selected each of the certification tracks (verified, professional,
or honor) that is available for your course.

To view the enrollment count for a course, follow these steps.

Enrollment
##########################

The course creator, and course team members with the Staff and Admin roles, can
enroll learners in a course, see how many people are enrolled, and, when
necessary, unenroll learners on the Instructor Dashboard.

Learners can enroll themselves in a course during its defined enrollment
period. For a ``www.edx.org`` course, enrollment is publicly available to
anyone who registers an edX account. For other courses, such as those on
``edge.edx.org``, enrollment is limited to learners who know the course URL
and learners you explicitly enroll.

The course creator and course team members with the Staff and Admin roles can
enroll learners in a course. These course team members can also unenroll
learners.
