\label{Course_Self_Enrollment}
Courses can be configured to permit self-enrollment. 
To configure self-enrollment:
\begin{enumerate}

\item Select \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{cprv}
\textbf{Manage course users} on the Main Menu.
\item At the \textbf{User Management} screen, select
\includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{self_enroll}
\textbf{User Self-Enrollment}.
\end{enumerate}
On the \textbf{Configure Self-enrollment} screen settings are available for the following:

\begin{itemize}
\item Types and affiliations of users who can self-enroll
\item Restrict self-enrollment to students who are listed as officially
registered for the course in institutional course roster(s) for sections
of the course or for crosslisted courses.
\item Opening date/time for self-enrollment and closing date/time.
\item Starting and ending dates for access to the course for users who self-enroll. 
\item Assign a specific section to users who self-enroll
\end{itemize}
When self-enrollment is set up a warning will be displayed if the
course is not listed in the course/community catalog available for the domain.
Guidance on how to get the course listed will also be provided if a
warning is displayed.

If a course is listed in a catalog users when viewing the course/community catalog
will be able to search for the course (there is a checkbox to restrict
courses listed in the catalog display to just those courses for which
self-enrollment is available). If such courses exist the list of courses
will include a self-enroll link for each course. Users
can reach the course/community catalog from the Main Menu screen, and also from
the roles page. Course Coordinators and other users with advanced
roles in the system can also reach the course/community catalog in the same
way, although the link on the roles page is less prominent for these
types of user.

A user must be logged into LON-CAPA in order to self-enroll in a course.
However, if your domain permits it, users may be able to create a
LON-CAPA account and log-in. Most commonly
self-creation of accounts is permitted where a user can authenticate
with a username and password assigned by your institution to access
online services provided by the institution. If a user clicks the
{}``Enroll in course'' link from the catalog, and needs to
create an account, once the account creation step is completed successfully,
the user will proceed automatically to self-enrollment in the course,
assuming the user meets any restrictions set for self-enrollment in
the particular course.
