Hi @jaqusa!

What platform release are you running? If you are running the latest ironwood.2 there’s support for free certificates.

To set them up, you’ll need to follow these instructions:

  1. Make sure the feature flag that disables honor certificates is disabled. To set it, edit lms.env.json and cms.env.json and edit the FEATURES keys as following:
   ...
    "FEATURES": {
        ...,
        "DISABLE_HONOR_CERTIFICATES": false
    }
}
  1. Then, follow the certificate set up instructions as per described in the edX documentation:
    https://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/edx-installing-configuring-and-running/en/latest/configuration/enable_certificates.html
  2. After the certificates are set up, you’ll need to add the honor mode to the courses that you wish to offer certificates. You can do that using the django admin panel: http://localhost:18000/admin/course_modes/coursemode/add/ (change localhost:18000 by the url of your instance).
    certificate-setup
    You just need to set course, mode and display name and leave the other as defaults.
  3. From that point on, Studio will enable you to set up certificates for the selected course.
    set-up-studio
    set-up-studio1322×565 75.7 KB

With certificates enabled and set up, you’ll just need to make sure you users are enrolled as honor instead of audit if you’re using and external enrollment API.
New users that enroll into the course through the platform will be enrolled as honor.

As for changing enrollment tracks, I’m not sure if it can be easily done through django shell, but there are some implications on the grades as described in the docs.
