# Assign Learners manually

As a Site Administrator or Site Manager you can manually assign users as Learners on a course (requires Totara Learn). You can do this using the manual [enrolment method](/19/docs/what-are-enrolment-methods).

To assign a Learner, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the course in which you want to enrol a Learner.
2. From the **Administration** block, go to *Course administration > Users > Enrolled users*.
3. Click **Enrol users** in the top-right or bottom-left corner.
4. From the **Assign roles** dropdown, choose the **Learner** role.
5. Select enrolment options as appropriate.
6. Browse or search for the user.
7. Click the **Enrol** button next to the user. The user will indent in the list and the enrol button will disappear, indicating that the user is enrolled.
8. When you have finished, click **Finish enrolling users**.

The user will then appear in the list of enrolled users, and will no longer be available in the search list.
