You can allow Students to self-enroll into courses directly through the **Student Portal** by enabling the self-enroll option in **Institution Config / Courses / Self**. This allows for a more flexible and independent registration experience, while still letting you enforce rules around prerequisites, duplicates, schedules, and fees.

## Configuring Self-Enroll and Settings

To begin setup, check **Yes** for **Self Enroll Enabled**. Once enabled, additional configuration fields will appear, allowing you to tailor how self-enrollment works for your institution.
