How do I enable self-enrollment for my Community?
After you have created your Community in Canvas, you might want to allow other faculty to self-enroll. You will learn how to enable self-enrollment for your Community, so that your colleagues can self-register to join your Community.
Warning! Self-enrollment is only to be used for Communities or other course shells you have made yourself. Do not attempt to use self-enrollment with a matriculated course.

4. Tick the box for Add a "Join this Course" link to the course home page.
5. Copy the new URL which you can then email to your colleagues.
