### Self Registration
44+
Submitty allows users to register for courses where specified by the Course Settings. ***This allows any user who has access to Submitty to register.***

46+
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.
47+
48+
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.
