The Instructure Community will enter a read-only state on November 22, 2025 as we prepare to migrate to our new Community platform in early December. Read our blog post for more info about this change.
If you go to the settings in the resource course and set it to have a visibility of "Institution", then students can access the course content without needing to enroll in the course. By setting it to "Institution" it makes it so all users that are logged in can access the course. Users would need to enroll in it if there are any interactive elements you expect them to complete (discussion boards, assignments, quizzes, etc.).
We did this and added a link to the resource course as a module item in a Resources module for all of our blueprints. This then gets copied out to all courses when we load our course content with blueprint syncs. Since we only use it to share information and students aren't submitting anything, there is no need for them to enroll.
