# Course Legal Agreement
The Course Legal Agreement 
plugin requires students to accept a terms/legal notice before they can access your course — useful for consent forms, usage policies, or any notice you need learners to formally agree to.
## Turning It On for Your Course
Enabling the plugin platform-wide doesn't do anything by itself — you still need to switch it on for each course where you want it:
1. Open your course's **Settings** 
2. In the course access section, check **Enable legal terms**
This adds a **Course legal agreement** tool to your course.
## Writing the Agreement
Open the **Course legal agreement** tool to:
* Write the notice text (rich text editor)
* Optionally attach a downloadable file
* Choose what happens on save: **Do not send notification**, **Notify all users by email**, or **Notify all users by email and send them the attachment**
## Reviewing Acceptance
The tool's **User list** shows every student and whether they've accepted the agreement (via the web or by email), with actions to resend the agreement link or remove a user's recorded acceptance.
## Tips
* **Set the course to Private** — This plugin is meant to gate access; a Public or Open course visibility works against that intent
* **Update deliberately** — Changing the agreement text doesn't automatically invalidate prior acceptances; use **Remove all previous user agreements** if you need everyone to accept the new version
* **Keep the notice short** — A long legal text is more likely to be skimmed than read; link out to a full policy document if you have one
