Discover (Self-Enrollment Tool for Students)

Discover is a tool which allows students to self-enroll in Community Groups on D2L. Once a Community Group is added to Discover, students can freely enroll and unenroll themselves in the Community Group, without needing to be added by a Group Manager (though a Group Manager is still able to enroll users themselves). This can be useful for Community Groups in which are a large number of students are expected to join, such as campus-wide initiatives. There are instructions below for how students enroll and unenroll through Discover.

NOTE: If you wish to request a Community Group be added to Discover, please send an email to VTAC@lonestar.edu with the full name of the Community Group.
