How can I make my module available to students? (Module is greyed-out and students say they can't see it.)

This refers to Moodle 4.5 from August 2025 onwards

To make a module visible to students:

Go into your module.
Click on the 'Settings' tab underneath the module title.

3. Look for the "Module visibility" field (third item down)

4. Click on the drop-down options select 'Show'

5. Click on the 'Save and display' button at the bottom of the page.

This setting determines whether the module appears in the list of modules for students.

To make a module invisible to students (hide it from students)

When the setting Module visibility (see above) is set to Hide, the module is hidden from students and invisible to all apart from staff with appropriate access rights (such as Teachers and Editing Teachers).

When you click on the 'Edit mode' toggle switch, in the 'Year End and Archive' block (only visible to editing teachers), the message appears: "Module hidden from students!"

If there are issues with students seeing the module, chances are this is a simple case of the module being hidden from student view. The above process will make it visible.
