As long as the self-enrol option is set to "instructor-led" (and the box
beside it labelled email for enrolment or whatever it is called is
unchecked) for all courses other than the one with the survey in it, you
could switch the enrolment option to "student-led" for this one course.
That should mean that only this course will have the Enrol button visible in
the course catalogue (I think !!!)

Paul,

        Unfortunately, guest aren't allowed to take assessments.  However,
following this lead, I thought I might be able to set the course so that any
student could access it, self-enrol, and then do the assessment, but it
doesn't look like that will work without permitting global self-enrolment
and I don't want to that.

        Still thanks for the idea.

Bruce

Pools are not quizzes, so you lose the question order and marks...The
only way around this is to copy the course.  But as you'll already know
you can't import a course into a course, so...

However, to share a survey between course, what I'd try is creating it
in one course and then just linking to it from other courses.  Set the
Survey Course to have Guest Access to stop you having to register every
one on it.

Let me know if this works and meets your needs
