### Self Registration
Submitty allows users to register for courses where specified by the Course Settings. ***This allows any user who has access to Submitty to register.***

Currently the only option for self registration allows any users to automatically join the course upon registering. In the future, we will add a self-registration mode where the user requests to join the course. The instructor(s) will be able to allow or deny users from joining the course.

Once the user registers for the course, the instructor(s) will receive an email with the user's user_id and the course they registered for.

##### Enable Self Registration
**Before you enable Self Registration, you must have at least one registration section.**
1. Navigate to the `Course Settings` page.
2. Scroll all the way down to the `Danger Zone`
3. Check the checkbox for `Enable Self Registration`.
4. (Optional) Select the default section you want users to be added to. This defaults to the first section. This can also be edited in the `Manage Sections` page.

Some courses may be 'Available for Self Registration'. These courses you can register
for without the instructor adding you. To join the course, click on the button for the course,
and in click on the button titled 'Register'. This will alert the instructor that you have joined the course.
They can still remove you from the course, however they don't have to add you.
