    1: \label{Course_Self_Enrollment}
    2: Courses can be configured to permit self-enrollment. 
    3: To configure self-enrollment:
    4: \begin{enumerate}
    5: 
    6: \item Select \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{cprv}
    7: \textbf{Manage course users} on the Main Menu.
    8: \item At the \textbf{User Management} screen, select
    9: \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{self_enroll}
   10: \textbf{User Self-Enrollment}.
   11: \end{enumerate}
   12: On the \textbf{Configure Self-enrollment} screen settings are available for the following:
   13: 
   14: \begin{itemize}
   15: \item Types and affiliations of users who can self-enroll
   16: \item Restrict self-enrollment to students who are listed as officially
   17: registered for the course in institutional course roster(s) for sections
   18: of the course or for crosslisted courses.
   19: \item Opening date/time for self-enrollment and closing date/time.
   20: \item Starting and ending dates for access to the course for users who self-enroll. 
   21: \item Assign a specific section to users who self-enroll
   22: \end{itemize}
   23: When self-enrollment is set up a warning will be displayed if the
   24: course is not listed in any course/community catalogs available in the domain.
   25: Guidance on how to get the course listed will also be provided if a
   26: warning is displayed.
   27: 
   28: If a course is listed in a catalog users when viewing the course/community catalog
   29: will be able to search for the course (there is a checkbox to restrict
   30: courses listed in the catalog display to just those courses for which
   31: self-enrollment is available). If such courses exist the list of courses
   32: will include a self-enroll link for each course. Users
   33: can reach the course/community catalog from the Main Menu screen, and also from
   34: the roles page. Course Coordinators and other users with advanced
   35: roles in the system can also reach the course/community catalog in the same
   36: way, although the link on the roles page is less prominent for these
   37: types of user.
   38: 
   39: A user must be logged into LON-CAPA in order to self-enroll in a course.
   40: However, if your domain permits it, users may be able to create a
   41: LON-CAPA account and log-in. Most commonly
   42: self-creation of accounts is permitted where a user can authenticate
   43: with a username and password assigned by your institution to access
   44: online services provided by the institution. If a user clicks the
   45: {}``Enroll in course'' link from the catalog, and needs to
   46: create an account, once the account creation step is completed successfully,
   47: the user will proceed automatically to self-enrollment in the course,
   48: assuming the user meets any restrictions set for self-enrollment in
   49: the particular course.
